2. Press the SP straight down until it is fully seated in its socket (panel 2).

Return the server to an operational condition.

3. Reconnect the power cords to the power supplies.
  See Attach Power Cords.

Prior to powering on the server, connect a terminal or a terminal emulator (PC or workstation) to the SP SER MGT port.
Refer to Server Installation for instructions.

If the replacement SP detects that the SP firmware is not compatible with the existing host firmware, further action will be suspended and the following message will be displayed:
```
Unrecognized Chassis: This module is installed in an unknown or
unsupported chassis. You must upgrade the firmware to a newer
version that supports this chassis.
```
Note - Whenever you replace the SP or the motherboard, update the firmware on the server so the portions of firmware in the two components remain consistent.

Configure the SP NET MGT port so that it can access the network, and log in to the SP through the NET MGT port.
Refer to Servers Administration or the Oracle ILOM documentation for network configuration instructions.

Download the system firmware.
Follow the firmware download instructions in Servers Administration or the Oracle ILOM documentation.

Note - You can load any supported system firmware version, including the firmware version that was installed prior to replacing the SP.

If you created a backup of your Oracle ILOM configuration, use the Oracle ILOM restore utility to restore the configuration of the replacement SP.
Refer to the Oracle ILOM documentation for instructions.

Power on the server.
See Power On the Server (Oracle ILOM) or Power On the Server (Power Button).
