Verify that the enclosure serial number matches the enclosure serial number on the label on the 
enclosure mounting bracket. 
o  If the enclosure serial number matches the label, continue to step 7. 
o  If the enclosure serial number does not appear or does not match the label, continue to step 3 to 
manually update the enclosure identity using the Onboard Administrator CLI. 
3.  Use the Onboard Administrator service port address found on the Insight Display Enclosure Info screen 
to log in to the Onboard Administrator CLI with the Administrator local account password using 
one of the following options: 
o  A serial cable attached to the Onboard Administrator serial port 
o  An Ethernet CAT5 cable attached to the enclosure service port that is the enclosure link uplink port 
4.  Enter the SET ENCLOSURE PART_NUMBER X command, where X represents the 10-digit enclosure PID 
number found on the enclosure front label. 
5.  Enter the SET ENCLOSURE SERIAL_NUMBER Y command, where Y represents the 10-digit serial 
number found on the enclosure front label. 
6.  Enter the SET ENCLOSURE PDU_NUMBER Z command, where Z represents the number of the 
appropriate power configuration: 
o  1—Single phase power, US 
o  2—Three-phase power, US 
o  3—Three-phase power, International 
o  4—DC power

Procedures: Midplane assembly replacement 
 
 
CAUTION:   Some troubleshooting procedures require powering down an entire enclosure. To 
avoid possible data loss, always secure permission before powering down an enclosure. 
 
 
 
CAUTION:   If you are using a Virtual Connect environment, some of these procedures might 
cause the loss of Virtual Connect credentials and the loss of communication between the Onboard 
Administrator and the Virtual Connect Interconnect module. Ensure the Virtual Connect 
configuration is backed up before proceeding with any of the following procedures. Virtual 
Connect configuration can be backed up by using Virtual Connect GUI or Virtual Connect 
Support Utility. 
 
 
  
CAUTION:   To avoid data loss, do not remove an Onboard Administrator when the Insight 
Display shows a firmware update in progress. During this activity, the Insight Display displays the 
Firmware Update screen with the Lock icon and the firmware update progress bar.
