Add a redundant service processor assembly

Use this procedure to add redundant service processor assembly.

Power off the system and remove the power cords:

Before continuing ensure the device is not being used by the customer.
If possible, shut down any running applications and the operating system before powering off the system.
After the system is powered off, remove all power cords from all of the processor enclosures, starting with the primary processor enclosure (topmost) and then each secondary enclosure, working from top to bottom.

Install the Time-Of-Day Battery

If a time-of-day battery (A) is not present, install one in the new service processor assembly.

Install the Service Processor Assembly

Align the service processor assembly with the card slot.
Slide the service processor assembly all the way into the card slot in the card enclosure.
Push the handle (A) toward the service processor assembly until the release tab locks the handle in place. This will secure the service processor assembly into the card slot.
Reconnect all service processor assembly cables.

Restore Network Connectivity

The installed Service Processor must connect to the network to be accessible from the HMC.

How will the IP Address of the Service Processor be managed?

Configure a static IP Address Obtain an IP Address automatically from a DHCP server

↓ Go to step 10

Install the power cords
If you removed the power cords, reinstall the power cords for all of the processor enclosures.

Install the cords in the following order:

Secondary 2

Secondary 3

Primary

Secondary 1
Power On the System

Power on the system. For instructions, refer to Powering on and powering off.

To configure the PC or mobile computer to access ASMI:

The Advanced System Management Interface (ASMI) will be used to configure the new Service Processor. A PC or mobile computer must be connected to the Service Processor to access ASMI.

To configure the PC or mobile computer to access ASMI

Connect an Ethernet cable from the PC or mobile computer to the Ethernet port labeled HMC1, or the Ethernet port labeled HMC2 on the Service Processor being serviced.
Configure the Ethernet interface on the PC or mobile computer to an IP address and subnet mask within the same subnet as the server, so that your PC or mobile computer can communicate with the Service Processor.
Use the following table to help determine these values:
```
Service 
Processor 
connector  IP address   Subnet mask     Gateway address

HMC1       169.254.2.147  255.255.255.0   169.254.2.1
HMC2       169.254.3.147  255.255.255.0   169.254.3.1
```
For example, if you connected your PC or mobile computer to HMC1, the IP address for your PC or mobile computer could be 169.254.2.1 and the subnet mask would be 255.255.255.0. Set the gateway IP address to the same IP address as the PC or mobile computer.

To connect to the ASMI:

To configure the Service Processor you must connect to the Advanced System Management Interface (ASMI).

To connect to the ASMI

Type the ASMI address in the Address field of your PC's or mobile computer's Web browser.
When the login display appears, enter one of the following default user IDs and passwords:
```
User ID       Password
admin         admin
```
Change the default password when prompted

To configure the Service Processor's static IP Address:

Configure the Service Processor's static IP Address.

To configure the Service Processor's static IP Address

From the navigation area, expand Network Services.
Click Network Configuration.
If your service processor connects to the network using a static IP address on Ethernet port HMC1, fill in the section labeled Network interface eth0.
If your service processor connects to the network using a static IP address on Ethernet port HMC2 , fill in the section labeled Network interface eth1.

Ensure that the following fields are filled in correctly:

Field                Value
Configure this 
interface?           Yes
Type of IP address   Static
IP address           The service 
                     Processor's 
                     static IP address
Subnet mask          255.255.255.0

Click Continue and verify your settings on the Network Configuration panel.
Click Save Settings to complete the static IP Address configuration.

Unplug service processor enclosure

Disconnect the AC power source from the enclosure.

Note: If you can not access the ASMI, or if the system will not power-on, after exchanging a service processor assembly, you might have a server firmware level problem. If the new service processor assembly contains an earlier release of server firmware than you were using, it might not support your current hardware configuration. You will need to update your server firmware using the USB port on the service processor assembly. Refer to Hardware Management Console models 7042-CR4, 7042-C06, and 7042-C07 service .
