Replacing the front operator panel assembly

Use this information for instructions on how to replace the front operator panel.

To install the front operator panel, complete the following steps.

1. Record (take a photograph of the barcode label or write down the barcode number) the 11S and FRU barcode information for the existing and replacement front operator panel assemblies. The label with this information is on the front operator panel assembly printed circuit board. This information is required to update the customer records, service offering support information, and component VPD.
2. Reinstall the LCD system information display panel into the front operator panel.
3. Orient the LCD system information display panel so that the LCD connect is next to the LEDs on the operator panel.
4. Lower the LCD system information display panel, while aligning the LCD retention latch with the slots on the front operator panel. Push it in until it clicks in place on the front operator panel.
   
   
   
5. Reconnect the LCD display panel cable to the LCD display panel.
6. Align the front operator panel with the slot on the storage book and slide it in until it is seated in place.
   
   
   
7. Reconnect the front operator panel cables to the storage book board and the rear air baffle. Make sure that you reinstall the plug that your removed from the old assembly to the rear of the new air baffle.
8. Reinstall the storage book (see Replacing the storage book).
9. Reconnect the power cords and any cables that you removed.
10. Turn on the peripheral devices and the server.
11. Update the front operator panel assembly part number and FRU part number in the customer records, service offering support information and component Vital Product Data (VPD) using the Advanced Settings Utility (ASU) program. For more information about using ASU and additional command options, see Advanced Settings Utility program.
    1. Update component part number in customer records and service offering support information

       The component part number is the first seven characters following the “11S” of the 11S barcode. In the following example, the component part number is shown in bold:

       11S12X4567YJ1105A34567
    2. Update component part number VPD

       Use the following ASU command to update the component VPD:

       asu64 set VPD.CompVPD_PartNumber.3 “<p/n>[sp][sp][sp][sp][sp]”

       where:

       <p/n> is the 7–character component part number followed by five padding spaces.

    3. Update FRU part number in customer records and service offering support information

       The FRU part number is the first seven characters following the “FRU:” of the FRU barcode. In the following example, the FRU part number is shown in bold:

       FRU:12X4567
    4. Update FRU part number VPD

       Use the following ASU command to update the FRU part number VPD:

       asu64 set VPD.CompVPD_FRUNumber.3 “<fru_number>[sp][sp][sp][sp][sp]”

       where:

       <fru_number> is the 7–character FRU part number above followed by five padding spaces.

12. Restart the IMM2; then, restart the server.
