__ a. The hardware and firmware in the BladeCenter unit are at the supported levels for the blade server. Go to the IBM Support Web site, http://www.ibm.com/support/, for additional information. __ b. The BladeCenter unit has the correct customer interface card (CIC) (see "Checking the status of the media tray"). For illustrations and additional information, see the following related documentation on the World Wide Web at http://www.ibm.com/support/: v BladeCenter Type 8677 Rack Installation Instructions v BladeCenter Type 8677 Installation and User's Guide v BladeCenter T Types 8720 and 8730 Installation and User's Guide v BladeCenter T 2-Post Rack Mount Kit Installation Instructions v BladeCenter T 4-Post and Universal Telco Frame (UTF) Rack Mount Kit Installation Instructions v IBM BladeCenter Power Module Upgrade Guidelines Technical Update Eserver v BladeCenter Management Module Installation Guide v BladeCenter T Management Module Installation Guide v BladeCenter and BladeCenter T Management Module Command-Line Interface Reference Guide v IBM BladeCenter and BladeCenter T Serial Over LAN Setup Guide Eserver v The documentation that comes with the Ethernet switch module that you are using; for example: - IBM 4-Port Gb Ethernet Switch Module for BladeCenter Installation and User's Guide - Nortel Networks Layer 2-7 GbE Switch Module for IBM BladeCenter Installation Guide Note: For more information, see "Related documentation" on page 3. Checking the status of the media tray If you received a BladeCenter unit other than a Type 8677, this topic does not apply. Important: If you received a Type 8677 BladeCenter unit before June 2003, the customer interface card (CIC) in the media tray of the BladeCenter unit might need to be replaced before the CD drive will work correctly with a BladeCenter JS20 Type 8842. If you received a Type 8677 BladeCenter unit before June 2003, start the management-module Web interface and perform these steps to determine if the CIC in your BladeCenter unit needs to be replaced: 1. In the navigation pane on the left side, select Monitors; then, select Hardware VPD. 2. While looking at the "BladeCenter Hardware VPD" table in the right pane, find the row for module name "Media Tray". 3. Check the "FRU Number" column for the "Media Tray". 4. If you see 59P6629, have the CIC replaced before installing a BladeCenter JS20 Type 8842 in the BladeCenter unit. 10 BladeCenter JS20 Type 8842: Hardware Maintenance Manual and Troubleshooting Guide
