Installing a part by using the Systems Director Management Console

You can use the IBM® Systems Director Management Console (SDMC) to perform many service actions, including the installation of a new field-replaceable unit (FRU) or part.

To use the SDMC user interface to install a part into a system or expansion unit that is managed by an SDMC, follow these steps:

In the Power Systems™ Resources area, select the system on which you want to install a part.
From the Actions menu, expand Service and Support > Hardware > MES Tasks > Add FRU.
On the ADD FRU tab, select the system or enclosure type.
Select the FRU type you are installing from the menu and click Next
Select the location code for where you want to install the part, and click Add.
After the FRU is placed in the pending actions category, click Launch Procedure and follow the instructions to install the part.
Note: The SDMC might open external instructions for installing the feature. If so, follow those instructions to install the part.
