17.2 Fan Backplane Location


17.2 Fan Backplane Location
This section describes the location of the fan backplane.
The fan backplane connects the individual fan units.
Caution - Do not replace a fan backplane together with an I/O board. If you replace a fan backplane together with an I/O board, the PCI expansion unit serial number changes to all 0's ("0000000000"). If the serial number changes to all 0's ("0000000000"), you need to restore the original serial number by using the ioxadm command of the XSCF firmware.
To replace both a fan backplane and an I/O board, replace either of the two, start the physical partition connected to the PCI expansion unit, and check for error log information related to the PCI expansion unit. After confirming that no such error log information is displayed, replace the other Field Replaceable Unit (FRU).
