Remove the model 9116-561 or 570 voltage regulator assembly with power off

You might need to remove a voltage regulator assembly with the system power off. Use the procedure in this section to perform this task.

If your system is managed by the Hardware Management Console (HMC), you can use the HMC to complete the steps for removing a voltage regulator module. For instructions, see Remove a part using the Hardware Management Console.

To remove a voltage regulator assembly, do the following:

  1. Perform the prerequisite tasks as described in Before you begin.
  2. If necessary, identify the voltage regulator assembly that you need to replace. Refer to Identify a failing part.
  3. Stop the system or logical partition.
  4. If necessary, open the front rack door.
  5. Remove the front cover from the model 9116-561 or 570.
  6. Remove the control panel with the power off.
  7. Remove the voltage regulator assembly by doing the following.
    1. Squeeze the top of the latch to release it.
    2. Rotate the latch out and then down.
    3. Grasp the pull ring and slowly pull the voltage regulator assembly out of the enclosure.
    Attention: Pulling the voltage regulator assembly out of the card enclosure requires a large amount of force. The voltage regulator assembly is of substantial weight, so grasp it firmly when it is free of the card enclosure.
