Complete the following steps to replace the system board base and planar: 1. Shut down the BladeCenter QS21. 2. Remove the BladeCenter QS21 from the BladeCenter unit. 3. Open and remove the top cover, and set it aside. See "Opening and removing the blade server cover" on page 32 for detailed instructions. 4. Remove the front bezel from the defective system board and set it aside. See "Removing the blade-server front bezel assembly" on page 41 for detailed instructions. 5. Remove any optional components from the defective system board and set them aside. 6. Note down the serial number of the defective system board. You need this later to update the VPD information. 7. On the replacement system board, install the front bezel assembly. See "Installing the front bezel assembly" on page 47for detailed instructions. 8. On the replacement system board, reinstall any options you removed from the defective system board. See "Installing the optional InfiniBand card" on page 33, "Installing the SAS expansion card" on page 38 and "Adding I/O DDR2 memory modules" on page 36 for detailed instructions. 9. Replace the cover and close. See "Closing the blade server cover" on page 49 for details. 10. Reinstall the blade server in the BladeCenter unit. 11. Update the BMC, system and optional expansion card firmware as described in Chapter 2, "Configuring the blade server," on page 9. 12. Using SMS, update the VPD information by entering the serial number of the defective system board. See "Adding FRU information" on page 13 for details. 13. Configure the replacement blade server to boot from the same device as the original defective unit. See the QS21 Installation and User's Guide for details. Note: Providing the options on the new blade server are the same as on the old you do not have to reinstall or reconfigure the operating system but simply configure the boot options to boot from the boot device. Replacing the battery IBM has designed this product with your safety in mind. The lithium battery must be handled correctly to avoid possible danger. If you replace the battery, you must adhere to the following instructions. Note: In the U. S., call 1-800-IBM-4333 for information about battery disposal. If you replace the original lithium battery with a heavy-metal battery or a battery with heavy-metal components, be aware of the following environmental consideration. Batteries and accumulators that contain heavy metals must not be disposed of with normal domestic waste. They will be taken back free of charge by the manufacturer, distributor, or representative, to be recycled or disposed of in a proper manner. To order replacement batteries, call 1-800-IBM-SERV within the United States, and 1-800-465-7999 or 1-800-465-6666 within Canada. Outside the U.S. and Canada, call your IBM authorized reseller or IBM marketing representative. Note: After you replace the battery, the blade server is automatically reconfigured. However, you must reset the system date and time through the operating system that you installed. 42 BladeCenter QS21 Type 0792: Problem Determination and Service Guide
