Install the System Configuration PROM

Before beginning this procedure, ensure that you are familiar with the cautions and safety

instructions described in

“Safety Information” on page 49

Caution -

This procedure requires that you handle components that are sensitive to electrostatic

discharge. This discharge can cause server components to fail.

Take all necessary ESD precautions.

See

“Prevent ESD Damage” on page 57

Orient the system configuration PROM properly onto the main module.

Press down on the system configuration PROM until it is completely seated on

the main module.

Insert the main module back into the server.

See

“Install the Main Module” on page 95
