Removing and replacing the Western Telematic Inc. switch for the TS7650G (Gateway), ProtecTIER V3.4.3
To remove and replace the Western Telematic Inc. (WTI) switch, perform the following steps.
Procedure
- Before removing the old WTI switch, issue a poweroff command to the upper ProtecTIER® server Node B.
- Wait until the upper ProtecTIER Node B is powered off, then issue a poweroff command to the lower ProtecTIER server Node A.
- On a sheet of paper, record the following information for
each power cable attached to both ProtecTIER nodes:
- The label of the power cable.
- The WTI port where the cable is connected (see Figure 1).
- Remove the old WTI switch.
- Install the new WTI switch and
connect it in exactly the same way as the old WTI. Figure 1. Clustered TS7650G (3958 DD4 and 3958 DD5) power connections
Note: In Figure 1 and Table 1, the letters TJ followed by a number (for example: TJ5) indicate which outlet (J5) the associated component plugs into on the Top PDU. The letters BJ followed by a number (for example: BJ8) indicate which outlet (J8) the associated component plugs into on the Bottom PDU.Table 1.

The message Updating WTI firmware might be displayed. The update takes at least five minutes.
- After ProtecTIER Node A is completely powered on, power on ProtecTIER Node B.
- Checking the Western Telematic Inc. power ports
This topic provides a method to access the Western Telematic Inc. (WTI) switch to view power port status and to power on or power off the power ports. This method must be performed by an IBM service representative. - Configuring the Western Telematic Inc. switch for the TS7650G (Gateway), ProtecTIER V3.4.3
