Inspection
You must examine the connectors for any connector damage on the removed book using the 3X
Magnification Glass (part number 11P4747) included in the system toolkit. If you identify a defect on the
book, do not install the replacement book without contacting your next level support for instructions.
Note: For visual examples of damaged connectors please view the document on CORE, under 7040,
entitled
7040-681 Memory and I/O Book Inspection Procedure .
A damaged connector on a defective book may indicate a damaged system backplane. If an I/O book
connector is damaged, then inspect the system backplane for damage.
If the removed I/O book is not damaged, carefully remove the new I/O book from the packaging. Be sure
to protect the connector and the blue handles when you remove the I/O book from the cardboard box or
ESD bag. Do not handle the I/O book by its connector or either of its blue handles. Remove the protective
cover from the connector and install it on the defective I/O book.
Notes:
1. Do not stack books on top of each other. ESD bags do not provide sufficient stacking protection.
2. Do not rest an I/O book on its connector or on its blue handles at any time.
After the I/O book has been removed from the ESD bag, examine the Book VHDM connector using the 3X
Magnification Glass (part number 11P4747) included in the system toolkit. If any connector shows signs of
damage, do not use it.
Replacement
Note: Before you replace the primary I/O book, save the bootlist information for the system in SMO mode.
Then, after the I/O book is replaced, power on, and go to the SMS menu and set the bootlist.
To replace an I/O book, do the following:
1. Inspect the new I/O book for damage. For more information, see “Inspection”.
2. Unlatch the two blue handles on the replacement book.
3. Taking care not to hit the connector against the CEC cage, use both hands to carefully place the book
on the CEC guides.
4. Slide the book in until it reaches the alignment pins.
5. Using even pressure, actuate both blue handles simultaneously until the book is fully seated.
6. Restore the service processor settings saved in step 5 on page 793.
7. Repeat this process for all replacement I/O books.
8. If any cables were removed during the removal procedure, plug all cables into their correct locations.
9. Turn on the power as described in “Powering the System On” on page 780.
Notes:
1. If you are replacing a primary I/O book on a system with an HMC attached, you must set the system
name through the Main Menu (for a privileged user) of the service processor menus. Reboot the HMC
after setting the system name to allow the HMC to recognize the attached managed system by its new
name. If the HMC does not recognize the attached managed system, the default assigned name is
unnamed . After the system is selectable by its new name on the HMC console, the recover managed
system task can be executed at the HMC console to restore partition information. The partition
information is copied from the HMC console to the new service processor (part of the primary I/O
book) NVRAM and may take 15 to 30 minutes to complete. Wait for the operation to complete as
indicated on the HMC.
2. If you are replacing a primary I/O book, make sure you set the system time and date through the date
operating system command, and enter the I/O type as described in “Change I/O Type” on page 728.
