Find information about preparing the system for operation
after removing and replacing an internal RDX docking station (FC EUA3)
and removable disk drive that failed in the system or as part of another service
procedure.
To complete this procedure, you must have replaced an internal RDX docking station (FC EUA3). For instructions, see
Replacing an internal RDX docking station (FC EUA3) with the system power turned off.
To prepare the system for operation, complete the following
steps:
- Ensure
that you have the electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap on and
that the ESD clip is connected to an unpainted metal surface. If not,
do so now.
- Reconnect
the power cords to the system. For instructions, see Connecting
the power cords.
- Start the
system or logical partition. For instructions, see Starting
a system or logical partition.
- Configure the removable disk drive based on the operating system. For the AIX® operating system:
- Log in as root user.
- At the command line, type cfgmgr and press Enter.
- To verify that the system recognizes the device, enter lsdev -Cc usbms.
For the IBM i operating system:- No action is necessary after the system is powered on and the partition started. The existing
resource device description should automatically be varied on and available.
For the Linux operating system:- The Linux operating system automatically configures
the drive as a disk drive that has a name in the format sdx,
for example, sda, sdb, and sdc.
- To verify that the system recognizes the device, enter lsusb.
- To find the device that is associated with the USB disk drive, enter
lsscsi.
- Verify the installed part.
- If you replaced the part because of a service action, verify the
installed part. For instructions, see Verifying a repair.
- If you installed the part for any other reason, verify the installed
part. For instructions, see Verifying
the installed part.
