You can remove a NEM from a powered-on chassis using a hot-plug operation, or from a powered-off chassis. The server modules must be informed if you are replacing a non-redundant NEM.
This procedure is for removing a NEM if you do not plan to replace it. If you plan to replace a NEM, see Replace a NEM.
Caution - If the chassis is powered on and you are not replacing the NEM within 60 seconds, install a NEM filler panel to ensure proper system operation. |
Note - Hot-plug service has to be enabled on all blades in the chassis for the hot-plug removal to properly initiate. If the Ready-to-Remove LED does not light, check the configuration of the blades, or power off all of them.
Note - Pushing the ATTN button twice within five seconds will cause the Power/OK LED to return to solid green. This action will cancel the request for a NEM removal.
If the action is successful:
The NEM green Power/OK begins to slowly blink.
The OK- to-Remove blue LED illuminates and the Power LED turns off.
In the ILOM System Information —> Components screen: The Return-to-Service option is available in the Actions drop-down list for the NEM and the Ready-to-Remove status column for the NEM is Ready.
In the ILOM CLI show /CH/NEMx command output, the following status is listed in the Properties section: prepare_to_remove_status = Ready
/CH/NEMx/OK reads Off in either the ILOM web interface or CLI.
If the action is unsuccessful:
The NEM green Power/OK LED begins to slowly blink, then returns to solid green, and the Ready-to-Remove LED does not go on.
In the ILOM System Information —> Components screen, the Return to Service option does not become available in the Actions drop-down list and the Ready-to-Remove status column for the NEM still reads Not Ready.
In the ILOM CLI show /CH/NEMx command output, the following status is listed in the Properties section: prepare_to_remove_status = NotReady
/CH/NEMx/OK reads On in either the ILOM web interface or CLI.
Note - Wait five minutes after CMM boot up or NEM insertion before removing the NEM.
Support the weight of the NEM, with one hand at the bottom of the NEM.
