For use by authorized service providers.
Attention: Refer to the xSeries server service documentation prior to removing any covers or cards from
the xSeries server.
The Integrated xSeries Adapter (IXA) is an external card located in an xSeries server. The card is
connected to the system with both a signal cable and SPCN cable. Using SPCN to power off the tower will
power off the entire server (but does not remove power supplied by the xSeries server power source).
For additional detail on the following procedure, refer to Figure 1. Integrated xSeries Adapter (IXA) card
(See page 201) below. See the documentation that came with the xSeries server for detailed instructions.
Perform the following to exchange the failing component:
1. Check the Service Action Log (SAL) for the frame number with the failing component.
2. Using the xSeries server documentation, remove the top cover.
3. Check the LED Display in the top, left side of the Integrated xSeries Adapter (IXA) card. Is the number
on the LED the frame number with the failing item?
v Yes: Continue with the next step.
v No: Put the top cover back on the server unit and take the cover off another xSeries server.
Continue to check the number on the LED Display until one matches the frame number you are
looking for.
4.
From the system unit, power down the frame with the failing item. (See “Expansion unit power
procedure” on page 564.)
Attention: You must power down the xSeries server and disconnect the ac power cord from its power
source to avoid damaging the card. See the service documentation that came with the xSeries server
that you are working on.
5. Disconnect the cables that are attached to the rear of the Integrated xSeries Adapter (IXA) card in the
xSeries server.
6. Open the latches on the card slot and lift the card out of the xSeries server.
7. Replace the card by reversing the above procedure. After exchanging an item, go to “Verify the repair”
on page 558.
This ends the procedure.
