Removing and replacing blade server components
This procedure discusses how to remove and replace components on DataPower
Integration Blade XI52B Type 8436-4BX appliances.
Before you begin
If you replace the appliance internal key or the system board, you must create the
USB key, which is known as the
service key . Before you go to a customer, you must
understand field-reflash and the procedures to manage the field-reflash.
Procedure
1. Create the service key.
2. Field-reflash the internal key.

After you replace the internal USB flash key or the system board, you must
initialize the blade appliance from a service key.
Before you go to a customer
Before you begin, you must understand the importance of the field-reflash.
Read the following information:
v
IBM WebSphere DataPower Integration Blade XI52B appliances have a USB flash
key that is plugged into the system board of the device. This key is referred to
as the
internal key . If the system board or the internal key is replaced, you must
reflash the internal key from a service key. The FRU part number for the service
key is 41Y8279.
v
When you replace the internal key or the system board, the field-reflash
procedure causes all data that is stored on the internal key to be erased. Check
with the customer to verify that they have a complete backup of the system data
or that they previously exported their data to another computer. After you
reflash the internal key, the customer can use this backup to restore data to the
internal key.
v The field-reflash procedure requires you to enter the serial number of the target
blade appliance. Before you service the blade appliance, ensure that you have
the correct serial number of that appliance. The serial number is 78
xxxxx , where
xxxxx is five alphanumeric characters.
v
Some steps require that the blade appliance is turned on. Do not manually
restart the blade appliance unless you are instructed to do so. If you suspect
there is a high risk of power failure (for example, due to a thunderstorm), do
not proceed with the procedure provided in this document.
