FC 5095, FC 0595 - Cards (concurrent)
For use by authorized service providers.
Use this procedure to remove or replace cards concurrently in an FC 5095 or FC 0595.
Concurrent/dedicated guidelines for an FC 5095 or FC 0595
In some cases you do not need to power down the system to change PCI cards. Use the following
guidelines to determine if you should use dedicated or concurrent remove and replace procedures. If you
use concurrent maintenance on a partitioned system, follow the procedures from the partition that owns
the resource. If the resource is not owned, follow the procedure from the primary partition.
v Card positions C01-C04 and C06-C08 permit concurrent maintenance using HSM. You can power down
the individual card slot.
v HSL card position C05 does not permit slot level concurrent maintenance. Use tower level concurrent
maintenance.
v If the resource is the load source IOA or the load source IOP, or any other storage IOA/IOP with critical
DASD attached for the system, primary, or secondary partition, follow the on-screen instructions when
you use HSM to power down the IOP or IOA. Instructions to use functions 68 and 69 on the control
panel will be included.
v If the resource is the console IOA or the console IOP for the system or primary partition, you cannot
power down the domain.
v If the resource is the console IOA or the console IOP for a secondary partition, then power down the
secondary partition and follow the procedure from the primary partition.
v See FC 5095, FC 0595 - Cards (dedicated) if you choose to perform dedicated card removal.
CAUTION:
The
circuit card contains lead solder. To avoid the release of lead (Pb) into the environment, do not
burn. Discard the circuit card as instructed by local regulations. (RSFTC234)
Attention: All cards are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (see Work with electrostatic discharge-sensitive
parts).
To remove cards concurrently:
1. From the Hardware Service Manager display, select Packaging hardware resources —> Hardware
contained in packaging.
2. Find the card position for the IOA or IOP that you are removing and select Concurrent maintenance.
A listing of the power domain is shown.
3. Find the IOA or IOP that you are removing and select Power off domain. Everything within the IOA’s
or IOP’s power domain will be powered off. The Display Power Status display appears.
4. Find the IOA or IOP that you are removing and select Toggle LED blink off/on.
5. Remove the cover to access the card that you are removing from the system. See FC 5095 - Covers.
6. Look at the power LED for the card that you are removing to ensure that it is powered off. The power
LED is located to the left of and directly above the card slot. If the LED is blinking multiple times per
second (rapidly) or it is off, then the card is powered off.
7. Remove the right side cover. See FC 5095, FC 0595 - Covers.
8. Remove and label any cables connected to the card.
9. Turn the latches securing the card.
10. Gently pull the card off the system backplane.
This
ends the procedure.
To replace cards concurrently:
1. Install the card in to the system by reversing the card removal procedure above.
