Exchange the PPS booster power module

Before you begin

Icon for electrostatic discharge wrist strap Use approved ESD procedures to prevent damage.

Attention:

This is not a stand-alone procedure. Customer disruption and damage to the hardware might occur if microcode and power boundaries are not in the proper conditions for this service action.
If you were sent here by a serviceable event FRU repair, the microcode and power boundaries have already been set.
If you were not sent here by a serviceable event FRU repair, see MAP1230 Replace a FRU without using a serviceable event.

Notes:

All the cables and FRUs to be removed must be uniquely identified so they can be reinstalled correctly.
If an installed earthquake resistance kit prevents you from accessing this FRU, refer to MAP1600.

DANGER

Hazardous voltage, current, or energy levels are present inside of a component to which this label is attached. (L001)

Remove the booster power module

Procedure

You must disconnect the J3 PPS-to-PPS communication cable and reconnect the , (PPS to RPC cables), and PPS-PPS communication cable in the proper sequence to prevent possible problems to the other PPS. Ensure you carefully follow the steps in this procedure.
To locate this FRU, do one of the following and then return here and continue to replace the FRU:
- If this FRU has a FRU identify indicator, use the FRU identify indicator, which is listed in MAP1240 Locating FRUs using identify indicators. If not, use the location code.
  Note: There might be cases where the FRU failure or fencing conditions prevent the FRU LED indicator from being lit even if the FRU has power.
- Use the location code, which is listed in MAP1245 Finding FRUs by using location codes.
- If there is no FRU identify indicator or location code, you were sent here by an isolation MAP or symbolic FRU procedure. Use the information in that procedure and the figures in this procedure to locate the proper part to exchange.
Most, but not all, FRUs have identify indicators. Use the flashing amber or solid blue FRU identify indicators to ensure that you are working on the correct enclosure or FRU.
- The "light path" identify LEDs are a hierarchy of LEDs that can identify the rack, enclosure, FRU, and even the FRU connector to which a cable is connected.
- For more information, refer to MAP1240 Locating FRUs using identify indicators.
Do not use the PPS FAULT LED indicator to identify the PPS being repaired.
- When the failing PPS is being repaired, the PPS FAULT LED indicator on the working PPS in the same rack might be on solid.
  The working PPS is indicating that the PPS being repaired is not available for use.
- Use the FRU Identify LED indicator to identify the PPS being repaired.
Figure 1. LEDs on the PPS (front)
Have the customer remove power to the PPS being repaired. See Figure 3.
1. Instruct the customer to switch off the circuit breaker that supplies mainline ac voltage to the power receptacle for the mainline power cable you are replacing.
  Attention: Use lockout and tagout procedures as defined in the Electrical Safety for IBM® Customer Engineers.
2. Observe the front of the PPS. Is the AC INPUT GOOD LED indicator off?
  - Yes, the customer has removed power from the correct PPS. Continue at the next step.
  - No, stop. The customer has not removed power from the correct PPS.
    1. Determine which PPS the customer has removed power from.
    2. Have the customer restore power to the PPS. The PPS may not power back on fully.
    3. Observe the LED indicators on the front of both PPSs with a PPS that is fully powered on. If the PPS did not power on fully, you will need to do a pseudo repair of the PPS to power it on. A pseudo repair of the PPS means that you use the normal FRU replacement procedures, but you do not replace or even disconnect the PPS cables. Refer to MAP1230 Replace a FRU without using a serviceable event.
    4. After the PPS is powered back on, return to this step and have the customer switch off the circuit breaker to the proper PPS.
To have full access to the rear of the PPS, unscrew and then rotate power distribution units away from the rear of the PPS. See Figure 2.
Figure 2. Power distribution units in normal position (rack rear view)
Remove power and mainline power cord from the PPS.
1. At the PPS, on the ac input power module, set the CB00 switch to off (down).
2. Disconnect the mainline power cord from the ac input power module. Push the two release levers .
Figure 3. Remove the ac mainline power cord
At the rear of the PPS that does not contain the module that is being replaced, disconnect the J3 PPS-to-PPS communication cable at the bottom right of the PPS sequencer module (see Figure 4).
Notes:
1. Disconnecting the cable from the PPS that does not contain the module that is being replaced will protect that PPS. Then, when the other end of the cable is disconnected from the PPS containing the module that is being replaced, no pins inside that connector will be able to touch ground and shut down the PPS that does not contain the module that is being replaced.
2. This removes the remaining logic power from the PPS containing the module that is being replaced; all PPS LEDs should now be off.
Figure 4. PPS rear view, lower right: PPS-to-PPS communication cable connection
At the rear of the PPS containing the module that is being replaced, disconnect the J3 PPS-to-PPS communication cable at the bottom right of the PPS sequencer module.
Disconnect the 208V cable from the booster power module. See Figure 5.
Figure 5. Location codes for the PPS (rear)
If removing the booster power module from PPS2 (lower PPS) slide the PPS forward into the service position:
1. Disconnect the remaining cables from the rear of the PPS.
2. Remove the green/yellow ground wire from the PPS.
3. Remove the cable ties securing the mainline power cable to PPS2 (lower PPS). Remove the screw securing the mainline power cable bracket, and then remove the mainline power cable bracket . See Figure 6.
  Figure 6. Power supply main line
4. At the front of the rack, remove the eight screws that fasten the PPS chassis to the rack . See Figure 7.
  Figure 7. Primary power supply (PPS) retaining screws
5. Slide the entire primary power supply forward just far enough to allow you to remove the PPS sequencer module. Figure 8 shows the PPS fully forward.
  Figure 8. Move PPS to service position
Remove the screws from the power booster module and then slide the module out. See Figure 9.
- If the cable routing bracket blocks the module, remove it. Each bracket is held by two screws that only need to be loosened, not removed. See Figure 10, .
- You may need to rotate the module it to the vertical position to fully remove it from the rack.

Do this step if the PPS was put in the service position. At the rear of the PPS, connect the and cables now to the sequence module. See Figure 4 above.
Connect the remaining rear cables except:
- The PPS-to-PPS communication cable (see Figure 4). It is connected in a later step.
- The mainline power cord. It is connected in a later step.
- The 208V power cables that were disconnected (see Figure 5). They are connected in a separate procedure after the PPS has powered on and been tested.
Install the green/yellow ground wire, ensuring that all the contact washers are in place.
Reinstall any cable routing bracket that was removed.
At the rear of the PPS BEING REPAIRED, connect the PPS-to-PPS communication cable at the bottom right of the PPS sequencer module.
At the rear of the PPS REMAINING IN USE by the customer, connect the PPS-to-PPS communication cable at the bottom right of the PPS sequencer module.
Note: One or more of the PPS LEDs might now be lit on the PPS being repaired.
Ensure that the PPS AC input power module CB00 switch is Off (down).
Connect input power.
1. Connect the mainline power cord to the ac input power module. Secure it with both release levers .
2. Set the CB00 switch to On (up) . See Figure 3.
3. Instruct the customer to switch on the mainline circuit breaker that supplies mainline ac voltage to the power receptacle for the primary power supply you are replacing.
