command:
asu64 show VPD --host <IMM IP> --user <IMM userid> --password <IMM password> >
<serial>_Node2_component.txt
where:
<IMM IP> is the IMM IP address
<IMM userid> is the IMM user name
<IMM password> is the IMM password

6. Make sure that the server is operating correctly and that there are no errors messages (see
“Error
messages” in the Lenovo System x3850 X6 and x3950 X6 Type 6241 Installation and Service Guide
). Correct
any problems that are indicated, unless they relate to components or firmware being replaced as part of
the ITL upgrade.
Perform the ITL upgrade
Attention: Installation of the ITL kit must be performed by a Lenovo-approved service technician.
To upgrade an IBM server to a Lenovo server, the service technician must complete the following steps:
Step 1. Mark and disconnect all cables from the IBM standard I/O books.
Step 2. Replace each IBM standard I/O book, originally installed in the server, with a Lenovo standard I/O
book, that comes with the ITL kit (see
“Replacing the standard I/O book” in the Lenovo System x3850
X6 and x3950 X6 Type 6241 Installation and Service Guide
for information and instructions).
Note: The service technician will need to perform this procedure twice when upgrading an IBM
x3950 X6 server to a Lenovo x3950 X6 server.
a. Remove the IBM standard I/O book from the shuttle (see
“Removing the standard I/O book” in
the Lenovo System x3850 X6 and x3950 X6 Type 6241 Installation and Service Guide
for
instructions).
Important: Before opening the release levers to extract the standard I/O book from the
system, look for missing or broken tabs on the chassis that the release levers pry against.
Missing or broken tabs can make removal of the standard I/O book from the chassis difficult. If
tabs are missing or broken, open an online service request at
