Removing a part by using the HMC

You can use the Hardware Management Console (HMC) 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 HMC Version 7, or later, complete the following steps:

  1. In the navigation area, expand Systems Management > Servers.
  2. Select the managed system from which you are removing a part.
  3. In the Tasks area, expand Serviceability > Hardware > MES Tasks > Remove FRU
  4. In the Add/Install/Remove Hardware - Remove FRU, Select FRU Type window, select the system or enclosure from which you are removing the part.
  5. Select the type of part that you are removing, and click Next.
  6. Select the location of the part that you are removing, and click Add.
  7. After the part is listed in the Pending Actions section, click Launch Procedure and follow the instructions to remove the part.
    Note: The HMC might open the information center instructions for removing the part. If so, follow those instructions to remove the part.
