Power On a Line Card

1. Identify the prerequisite and subsequent tasks you must perform in conjunction with this procedure, to achieve a goal.

   See the table in Servicing the Line Cards.

2. Power on and activate the line card using the enablestby and activate commands.

   For example, to power on line card 8:

   # enablestby lc 8
   lc 8 is now enabled
   #

   # activate lc 8
   #

3. If necessary, upgrade the firmware inside the line card:

   See Upgrading the Firmware.

4. (Optional) Display and record the line card FRU ID information:

   # clia fruinfo IPMB_address 0

   where IPMB_address is from Component Addressing.

   The following example is the output for line card 8:

   # clia fruinfo 92 0 
   Pigeon Point Shelf Manager Command Line Interpreter
   92: FRU # 0, FRU Info
