Replacing the BMC card in the 8335-GTC, 8335-GTG, 8335-GTH, 8335-GTW, or 8335-GTX system

To replace a the baseboard management card (BMC), complete the steps in this procedure.

1. Ensure that you have the electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap on and that the ESD clip is plugged into a ground jack or connected to an unpainted metal surface. If not, do so now.
2. Ensure that the release latch of the BMC card is opened to about a 60-degree angle .
3. Align the BMC card with the rear of the system.
   Use the plastic guides at (A) and the alignment pin (B) shown in Figure 1 to help align the card to the chassis.

   

4. Using the blue tab at (A) and the handle (B) as shown in Figure 2, press the BMC card into the connector on the system backplane.

   

5. Rotate the release latch (B) towards the rear of the system and snap the latch into the closed position to fully seat the card.
6. Replace the four screws (C) to secure the BMC card to the rear of the chassis.
7. If needed, use your labels to replace the cables in the BMC card.
8. Apply the new MAC address label over the previous label, on the power supply housing of the chassis, as shown in Figure 3.

   

9. If the system is an 8335-GTH or 8335-GTX and the system firmware level is OP940.20, or later, go to Updating the system firmware level of a BMC card to OP940.20, or later, in an 8335-GTH or 8335-GTX system.
