Instructions for IBM Business Partners

Instructions for IBM Business Partners on verifying the newly installed devices by running the Dynamic System Analysis (DSA) stress test.

In addition to the instructions in this chapter for installing optional hardware devices, updating firmware and device drivers, and completing the installation, IBM Business Partners must also complete the following steps:

  1. After you have confirmed that the server starts correctly and recognizes the newly installed devices and that no error LEDs are lit, run the Dynamic System Analysis (DSA) stress test. For information about using DSA, see IBM Dynamic System Analysis.
  2. Shut down and restart the server multiple times to ensure that the server is correctly configured and functions correctly with the newly installed devices.
  3. Save the DSA log as a file and send it to IBM. For information about transferring data and logs, see How to send DSA data.
  4. To ship the server, repackage it in the original undamaged packing material and observe IBM procedures for shipping.
