Installing a part by using the SDMC

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 install a part into a system or expansion unit that is managed by an SDMC, complete the following steps:
  1. In the Power Systems Resources area, select the system on which you want to install a part.
  2. From the Actions menu, expand Service and Support > Hardware > MES Tasks > Add FRU.
  3. On the Add FRU page, select the system or enclosure type from the Enclosure type list.
  4. Select the FRU type that you are installing, and click Next.
  5. Select the location code for the location to install, and click Add.
  6. After the part is placed in the Pending Actions section, 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.
