Replacing the SPM is a cold-service procedure that can be performed by customers. The server must be completely powered down before performing this procedure.
See Component Service Categories for more information about this category of service procedures.
The SP OK indicator on the front panel will be off when an SPM fault is detected.
After you replace the SPM, restoring the SPM configuration will be easier if you previously saved the configuration using the Oracle ILOM backup utility. Refer to the Oracle ILOM documentation for instructions on backing up and restoring the Oracle ILOM configuration.
To retain the same version of the system firmware with the new SPM, note the current version before removing the SPM.
