Replacing the Service Processor Assembly
To replace the service processor assembly, do the following:
1. Before handling any card, board, or memory DIMM, refer to “Handling Static-Sensitive Devices” on
page 280.
2. Grasp the service processor assembly handles located on top of the new service processor
assembly. Pivot the service processor handles upward to 90 degrees. This action puts the handle
cams into the correct position to help seat the assembly into its connector.
3. Align the service processor assembly with the slot in the system chassis.
4. While holding the service processor assembly by the handles, lower the service processor assembly
into place.
Note: Ensure that the two pins on the top flange of the service processor assembly align with the
corresponding service processor assembly alignment pin holes in the rear bulkhead while you
press the service processor assembly into place.
5. Press firmly on the top of the service processor assembly until you feel it lock into place.
6. Rotate the service processor assembly handles downward until they lock into place.
7. Replace the service access cover as described in “Replacing the Model 6C3 Service Access Cover”
on page 288.
8. Return the system to the operating position as described in “Returning the Model 6C3 to the
Operating Position” on page 285 or “Placing the Model 6E3 into the Service and Operating Position”
on page 286.
9. Reconnect cables to the service processor assembly.
10. Reconnect all system power cables.
11. Start the system as described in “Starting the System” on page 283.
Notes:
1. If you are replacing a service processor assembly on a system running AIX, set the time and date
using the operating system date command or smitty .
2. To restore the service processor settings and to set the date and time using the service processor
(if the system is running Linux use this method), see “Saving and Restoring Service Processor
Settings” on page 226.
12. If the service processor assembly was replaced, locate the backup copy of the service processor
settings. Use the “Save or Restore Hardware Management Policies,” in the “Introduction to Tasks and
Service Aids” section of the RS/6000
Eserver
pSeries Diagnostic Information for Multiple Bus
Systems , order number SA38-0509, to restore the service processor settings saved in NVRAM. If you
cannot run the appropriate task, or the service processor settings were not backed up, the service
processor settings must be entered manually. See Chapter 7, “Using the Service Processor,” on page
225 for more information about entering service processor settings manually.
