Use this procedure to replace the motherboard assembly if the motherboard or the disk backplane fails.
Note - If you replace a motherboard or a service processor and an incompatibility arises between the hardware revision of the component and the firmware version of either the SP or the BIOS, the best practice is to maintain compatibility with the SP firmware. Therefore, update or downgrade the system firmware package to the version compatible with the SP.
