7. Install and close the blade server cover. See “Installing and closing the blade server cover” on page
239.
Statement 21
CAUTION:
Hazardous energy is present when the blade server is connected to the power source. Always
replace the blade server cover before installing the blade server.
8. Install the blade server into the BladeCenter unit. See “Installing the blade server in a BladeCenter
unit” on page 236.
Attention: If the management card was not properly installed, the power-on LED blinks rapidly
and a communication error is reported to the management module. If this occurs, remove the blade
server from the BladeCenter, as described in “Removing the tier 2 management card” on page 255.
Reseat the management card, then reinstall the blade server in the BladeCenter.
9. Power on the blade server. If a Virtual I/O Server (VIOS) partition is installed, power on only the
VIOS partition. If VIOS is not installed, power on one of the partitions. If the blade server is
managed by a management console, wait for the blade server to be discovered by the management
console before continuing with the next step.
Attention: If the management card was not properly installed, the power-on LED blinks rapidly
and a communication error is reported to the management module. If this occurs, remove the blade
server from the BladeCenter, as described in “Removing the tier 2 management card” on page 255.
Reseat the management card, then reinstall the blade server in the BladeCenter.
10. A new Virtualization Engine technologies (VET) code must be generated and activated. Perform
“Obtaining a PowerVM Virtualization Engine system technologies activation code.” Wait at least five
minutes to ensure that the VET activation code is stored in the vital product data on the
management card and then power off the operating system and the blade server. Continue with the
next step of this procedure.
11. Power on the operating system of all the remaining partitions of the blade server.
12. If you replaced the part because of a service action, verify the repair by checking that the amber
enclosure fault LED is off. For more information, see “Blade server control panel buttons and LEDs”
on page 5.
Obtaining a PowerVM Virtualization Engine system technologies
activation code
After you replace the management card, you must reenter the activation code for the PowerVM function
to enable virtualization.
