Note: When you reassemble the components in the server, be sure to route all cables carefully so that they
are not exposed to excessive pressure.
Notes:
1. When you reassemble the components in the server, be sure to route all cables carefully so that they
are not exposed to excessive pressure.
2. When you replace the system board, you must either update the server with the latest rmware or restore
the pre-existing rmware that the customer provides on a diskette or CD image. Make sure that you
have the latest rmware or a copy of the pre-existing rmware before you proceed. See “Updating the
rmware” on page 211
“Updating the Universal Unique Identier (UUID)” on page 168 “Updating the
DMI/SMBIOS data” on page 170 for more information.
Important: Some cluster solutions require specic code levels or coordinated code updates. If the device is
part of a cluster solution, verify that the latest level of code is supported for the cluster solution before you
update the code
