710 Express (8231-E2B, 8231-E1C, 8231-E1D, or
8268-E1D) and the IBM Power 730 Express (8231-E2B, 8231-E2C, or 8231-E2D) system backplane.
Removing the 8231-E2B, 8231-E1C, 8231-E1D, 8231-E2C, 8231-E2D, or
8268-E1D system backplane
Learn how to remove the system backplane from a server to replace a failing part or as part of another
service procedure.
Notes:
v Before you begin this procedure, ensure that you have authority to log in as an authorized service
provider. The authority levels are described in ASMI authority levels.
v Identify the system that you will be working on by using the identify the system process to turn on the
system locate (blue) indicator. For more information, see Control panel LEDs.
If your system is managed by the Hardware Management Console (HMC), use the HMC to remove the
system backplane. For instructions, see Removing a part using the Hardware Management Console.
If your system is managed by the IBM Systems Director Management Console (SDMC), use the SDMC to
remove the system backplane. For instructions, see Removing a part using the Systems Director
Management Console.
If you do not have an HMC or an SDMC, complete the following steps to remove the system backplane:
1. Access the Advanced System Management Interface (ASMI).
The ASMI is the interface to the service processor that is required to perform general and
administrator-level service tasks, such as reading service processor error logs, reading vital product
data, setting up the service processor, and controlling the system power. The ASMI might also be
referred to as the service processor menus. To access the ASMI, see Accessing the Advanced System
Management Interface. After you have accessed the ASMI, continue with the next step.
2. Check and record the System Enclosure Type and Feature Code.
The enclosure serial number is a seven-digit number that is printed on a bar-coded label on the
system unit.
Note: The feature code number for the 8231-E2B, 8231-E1C, 8231-E1D, 8231-E2C, 8231-E2D, or
8268-E1D system backplane is 78AB-001.
3. Record the bootlist settings by using the Systems Management Services (SMS).
4. Check and record the server settings.
Before replacing this field-replaceable unit (FRU), check and record all server settings since you
might need to update the system after you replace this FRU. This can be done through the ASMI.
a. Check and record the server firmware level that is indicated on the right edge of the status
frame, the area where the Log out button is located. You might need to update the system to the
latest server firmware code level after you replace this FRU.
b.
Check and record the service processor settings that you previously set using the ASMI. You will
need to reset these service processor settings after you update this FRU or the default settings
will be used. It is recommended you record these settings, however you may not need to reenter
all of them after you replace this FRU.
