Remove the SP
Remove the SP
Caution - Ensure that all power is removed from the server before removing or installing
the motherboard assembly. You must disconnect the power cables from the server before
performing these procedures.
Caution - These procedures require that you handle components that are sensitive to ESD. This
sensitivity can cause the component to fail. To avoid damage, ensure that you follow antistatic
practices as described in “ESD Measures” on page 54.
Replacing the SP is a cold-service procedure that must be performed by qualified service
personnel. The server must be completely powered down before performing this procedure.
See “Component Service Categories” on page 57 for more information about this category of
service procedures.

To retain the same version of the system firmware with the new SP, note the current version
