Complete this task to replace the microprocessor board
(system planar) in 3958 DD4, DD5, and AP1 (DD4-based) servers.
Procedure
Perform the following steps to install the microprocessor
board (system planar) in the server:
- Insert the microprocessor board in the server at an angle;
then, slide the assembly toward the back of the server. Make sure
that all the cables are clear of the assembly as you install it in
the server.
- Tighten the thumbscrews 1 on
the rear of the server (see Figure 1). The second hole from the left side, rear view is for mounting
the two-node lock bracket when you add a second two-node system attachment.
If you have a two-node server, reinstall this lock bracket.
Figure 1. Replacing the microprocessor
board (system planar)
- Install the microprocessors and heat sinks,
if you removed them in a previous procedure (see Replacing a microprocessor and heat sink for the TS7650 Appliance or TS7650G (Gateway), ProtecTIER V3.3.6.
- If you have a single-node server without a memory expansion
module that is attached, install the QPI wrap cards or fillers (see Replacing a QPI wrap card for the TS7650 Appliance or TS7650G (Gateway), ProtecTIER V3.3.6). If you have
a two-node server or if your server is connected to a memory expansion
module, reconnect the QPI cables.
- Connect the following cables: front fan, scalability LED,
operator information panel, hard disk drive backplane, and CD/DVD
power.
- Route the front USB and DVD/CD signal cables behind the
hard disk drive backplane and to the side of the ServeRAID adapter
connector.
- Install the memory card cage (see Replacing the memory card cage for the TS7650 Appliance or TS7650G (Gateway), ProtecTIER V3.3.6). Make
sure that all the cables are clear of the cage as you install it in
the server.
- Install the middle fan (see Replacing the middle hot-swap fan for the TS7650 Appliance or TS7650G (Gateway), ProtecTIER V3.3.6).
- Connect the signal cables to the ServeRAID adapter and
install the adapter (see Replacing the RAID controller with the M5015 ServeRAID adapter for the TS7650 Appliance or TS7650G (Gateway), ProtecTIER V3.3.6).
- Install the memory cards and memory card fillers (see Replacing a memory card for the TS7650 Appliance or TS7650G (Gateway), ProtecTIER V3.3.6).
- Install the I/O board shuttle (see Replacing the I/O board shuttle for the TS7650 Appliance or TS7650G (Gateway), ProtecTIER V3.3.6). Be sure
to thread the USB and DVD/CD signal cables through the server and
connect them to the I/O board shuttle.
- Install the power supplies (see Replacing a hot-swap power supply for the TS7650 Appliance or TS7650G (Gateway), ProtecTIER V3.3.6).
- Install the top cover bracket (see Replacing the top cover bracket for the TS7650 Appliance or TS7650G (Gateway), ProtecTIER V3.3.6).
- Install the top cover (see Replacing the top cover for the TS7650 Appliance or TS7650G (Gateway), ProtecTIER V3.3.6).
- Connect the cables and power cords.
- Slide the server into the rack.
- Turn on all attached devices and the server.
A firmware update occurs when the server operator system reboots.
- Restore the system configuration to the new
microprocessor board, go to Restoring the system configuration of the 3958 DD4, DD5, and AP1 (DD4-based) servers for the TS7650 Appliance or TS7650G (Gateway), ProtecTIER V3.3.6
