Replacing a part by using the HMC

You can use the Hardware Management Console (HMC) to perform many service actions, including exchanging a field replaceable unit (FRU) or part.

If you are exchanging a part to repair a serviceable event, follow those instructions. If you are exchanging a part as a part of any other procedure by using HMC Version 7, or later, complete the following steps:

  1. In the navigation area, expand Systems Management > Servers.
  2. Select the managed system in which you are exchanging a part.
  3. In the Tasks area, expand Serviceability > Hardware > Exchange FRU.
  4. Select the system or enclosure from which you want to exchange the part.
  5. In the Replace Hardware - Replace FRU, Select FRU Type window, select the type of part that you will exchange from the menu, and click Next.
  6. Select the location code of the part that you will exchange, and click Add.
  7. After the part is listed in the Pending Actions section, click Launch Procedure and follow the instructions to exchange the part.
    Note: The HMC might open external instructions for replacing the part. If so, follow those instructions to replace the part.
