Changing the interposer plug count

View and change the multiple chip module (MCM) interposer plug count.

You can track the number of times that a multiple chip module (MCM) has been replaced or reseated on a given interposer. This interposer plug count provides you with information needed to prevent field problems due to damaged or overused interposers. You can use the ASMI to view and alter the interposer plug count for all MCMs in the system. Whenever a service action is performed on a system that requires the replacement or reseating of an MCM, service personnel are responsible for updating the plug count for that interposer.

Note: The Interposer Plug Count option is supported only on certain system types and models. If your server does not support this option and you select this option from the menu, the firmware returns a message indicating that this option is not applicable to your system.

To perform this operation, your authority level must be authorized service provider.

To view and modify the interposer plug count, do the following steps:

  1. On the ASMI Welcome pane, specify your user ID and password, and click Log In.
  2. In the navigation area, expand System Configuration.
  3. Select Interposer Plug Count. The current plug count is displayed in the text edit field for each MCM interposer. Each interposer is identified by location code.
  4. Type a new value into the text field to change the plug count.
  5. Click Save settings. A report page displays the new value.
