Removing a part using the Hardware Management Console
Installing or replacing the 8234-EMA, 9117-MMA, or 9406-MMA control
panel with power off
You can install or replace the control panel on the server with the power off.
If your system is managed by the IBM Systems Director Management Console (SDMC), use the SDMC to
replace the control panel in the server. For information about using the SDMC to replace a control panel,
see Replacing a part by using the Systems Director Management Console. If you do not have an SDMC,
complete this procedure to replace a control panel.
To install or replace the control panel with the power off, complete the following Procedure:
1. Perform the prerequisite tasks described in “Before you begin” on page 25.
2. Remove the control panel with power off. See “Removing the 8234-EMA, 9117-MMA, or 9406-MMA
control panel with power off” on page 20.
Attention: If you are not immediately installing or replacing the control panel, a control panel filler
must be in place when the system power is on for proper air flow and cooling. For instructions about
installing a control panel filler, see “Removing and installing the 8234-EMA, 9117-MMA, or
9406-MMA control panel filler” on page 23.
3. If necessary, remove the new control panel from its packaging. If there are control-panel overlays
included with the new control panel, install the appropriate overlay on the control panel.
Note: Remove the machine type label, with the serial number, from the front of the existing control
panel and place the label on the new control panel for future reference.
4. Carefully slide the control panel into the control panel bay until you feel the locking tabs (A) lock in
place as shown in the following figure.
