Exchange the storage enclosure to upper fan sense card cable

Before you begin

Icon for electrostatic discharge wrist strapUse approved ESD procedures to prevent damage.

Attention:
  • This procedure is not a stand-alone procedure. Customer disruption and damage to the hardware might occur when microcode and power boundaries are not in the proper conditions for this service action.
  • If a serviceable event FRU repair directed you to this procedure, the microcode and power boundaries are already set.
  • If a serviceable event FRU repair did not direct you to this procedure, see MAP1230 Replace a FRU without using a serviceable event.
Notes:
  • All the cables and FRUs to be removed must be uniquely identified so they can be reinstalled correctly.
  • If an installed earthquake resistance kit prevents you from accessing this FRU, refer to MAP1600.
Note: This procedure is disruptive and requires that the storage facility be powered off.

About this task

Upper versus lower cable
Determine the condition that applies:
  • You are here to replace a sense cable in a base rack, go to step 1.
  • You are here to replace a sense cable that is connected to storage enclosures in the upper half of an expansion rack, go to step 1.
  • You are here to replace a sense cable that is connected to storage enclosures in the lower half of an expansion rack, go to Cable, Storage Enclosure to Fan Sense Card, lower.

Remove storage enclosure to upper fan sense cable

Procedure

  1. To locate this FRU, take one of the following actions and then return here and continue to replace the FRU:
    • If this FRU has a FRU identify indicator, use the FRU identify indicator, which is listed in MAP1240 Locating FRUs by using identify indicators. If not, use the location code.
      Note: There might be cases where the FRU failure or fencing conditions prevent the FRU LED indicator from being lit even if the FRU has power.
    • Use the location code, which is listed in MAP1245 Finding FRUs by using location codes.
    • If there is no FRU identify indicator or location code, you were sent here by an isolation MAP or symbolic FRU procedure. Use the information in that procedure and the figures in this procedure to locate the proper part to exchange.
  2. Most, but not all, FRUs have identify indicators. Use the flashing amber or solid blue FRU identify indicators to ensure that you are working on the correct enclosure or FRU.
  3. Power off the storage facility subsystem and management console.
    1. Use the management console to power off the storage facility subsystem.
    2. Set the local/remote switch card white switch Callout label 1 to Local (down). This will prevent the rack from being unexpectedly powered up by the HMC (or remote power control if the feature is installed). See Figure 1.
      Figure 1. Location of the local remote switch card and the zSeries local remote switch card
      Location of the local remote switch card and the zSeries local remote switch
    3. Does the rack that you are repairing contain an integrated management console (HMC)? See Figure 2.
      Figure 2. Visual overview of Model 941 Rack-1, front
      Visual overview of storage unit (front)
      • Yes, go to the next step.
      • No, go to the 208 VDC bus bar gate to service position in step 6.
  4. Is this management console being used to guide this repair?
    • Yes, you will need to use the service information center to guide this FRU replacement. Bring up the Information Center CD in a PC platform. Go to Rack power and cooling and select this FRU procedure. Then, go to the next step.
    • No, go to the next step.
  5. Shut down the management console.
    1. From the navigation area, click HMC Management.
    2. In the right work area, go to the Operations section and click Shut Down or Restart.
      The Shutdown or Restart window opens.
    3. Select Shutdown HMC, then click OK.
    4. Wait for the HMC to power off then go to the next step.
  6. Open the 208 VDC bus bar gate to service position.
    1. Remove the two screws Callout label 1 and open the 208 VDC bus bar gate Callout label 2 to the service position. See Figure 3.
      Figure 3. 208VDC bus bar gate service position
      Pivoting the 208V bus bar gate to service position
  7. Have the customer remove power from the storage facility.
    1. Instruct the customer to switch off the circuit breakers that supply mainline ac voltage to both power receptacles for the main line power cables to the rack that will have the bus bar FRU replaced.
      Attention: Use lockout and tagout procedures as defined in the Electrical Safety for IBM® Customer Engineers.
    2. Observe the front of both PPSs. Is the AC INPUT GOOD LED indicator off?
      • Yes, the customer has removed power from the correct PPSs. Continue at the next step.
      • No, stop. The customer has not removed power from the correct PPSs.
        1. Determine which PPSs the customer has removed power from.
        2. Have the customer restore power to the PPSs. The PPS might not power back on fully.
        3. Observe the LED indicators on the front of both PPSs with a PPS that is fully powered on. If the PPS did not power on fully, you will need to do a pseudo repair of the PPS to power it on. A pseudo repair of the PPS means that you use the normal FRU replacement procedures, but you do not replace or even disconnect the PPS cables. Refer to MAP1230 Replace a FRU without using a serviceable event.
        4. After both PPSs are powered on, return to this step and have the customer switch off the circuit breaker to the proper PPSs.
  8. Remove power and mainline power cord from the PPSs.
    1. At both PPSs, set the ac input power module CB00 switch to Off (down).
    2. At both PPSs, disconnect the mainline power cord from the ac input power module. Push the two release levers Callout label 1. See Figure 4.
    3. Remove the cable ties Callout label 2 securing the mainline power cable to PPS-2 (lower PPS). See Figure 4.
