MAP1230 Section-1

Procedure

Do you have the location code for the FRU to be replaced?
- Yes, continue to the next step.
- No, determine the location code manually and then continue to the next step. (Reference MAP1245 Finding FRUs by using location codes).
There are two parts to the location code:
1. Determine the specific location code for this FRU position in the rack by referring to the Location codes > Location codes in serviceable events information in the service information center.
2. Determine the serial number (ssssssss) to include in the location code by physically finding it on a label for the enclosure or rack that contains the FRU being replaced.
Use the Exchange FRU option to replace the FRU.
1. From the navigation area, click Storage Facility Management > storage facility.
2. From the bottom Task area, click Exchange Parts. Select the exchange option that contains the FRU to be exchanged. A window opens and displays the enclosures.
3. Select the Enclosure location code, and click Show FRUs.
4. Select the FRU Location Code, and click Exchange FRU.
