Removing a part by using the SDMC

You can use the IBM® Systems Director Management Console (SDMC) to perform many service actions, including the removal of a field-replaceable unit (FRU) or part.

To remove a part in a system or expansion unit that is managed by an SDMC, complete the following steps:

  1. In the Power Systems Resources area, select the managed system from which you are removing a part.
  2. From the Actions menu, expand Service and Support > Hardware > MES Tasks > Remove FRU.
  3. On the Remove FRU page, select the enclosure from which you want to remove the part from the Installed Enclosures list.
  4. Select the type of the part that you are removing, and click Next.
  5. Select the location of the part that you are removing, and click Add.
  6. After the part is listed in the Pending Actions section, click Launch Procedure and follow the instructions to remove the part.
    Note: The SDMC might open external instructions for removing the part. If so, follow those instructions to remove the part.
