Removing a part using the Hardware Management Console

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 use the Hardware Management Console user interface to remove a part in a system or expansion unit that is managed by an HMC, follow these steps:

In the navigation area, expand Systems Management > Servers.
Select the managed system from which you are removing a part.
In the Tasks area, expand Serviceability > Hardware.
Select Remove FRU.
In the Add/Install/Remove Hardware - Remove FRU, Select FRU Type window, select the system or enclosure from which you are removing the part.
Select the type of part you are removing from the menu and click Next.
Select the location of the part you are removing and click Add.
After the part is listed in the Pending Actions display 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.
