## Install the Service Processor

Note - This is a cold service procedure that can be performed by customers. See Cold Service, Replaceable by Customer for more information about cold service procedures.

| Caution - The server must be fully shut down and the power cords disconnected.

| Caution - This procedure involves handling circuit boards that are extremely sensitive to static electricity. Ensure that you follow ESD preventative practices to avoid damaging the circuit boards.

| Caution - Components inside the chassis might be hot. Use caution when servicing components inside the chassis.

1. If the server is connected to a power source, shut the server down fully and unplug any power cords.

   See Removing Power From the System.

2. Extend the server out of the rack.

   See Extend the Server.

3. If you can access the rear area of the server without removing the server from the rack, go to Step 4, otherwise remove the server from the rack:
   - Unplug all cables from the server.
   - Remove the Server From the Rack
4. Remove the top cover.

   See Remove the Top Cover.

5. Tilt the service processor module and align it with the tab on the motherboard service processor support.
6. Press the module straight down until it is fully seated in its socket.

   | Caution - If the module does not slide into the socket with relative ease, do not force it. It may be that the module's pins are not perfectly aligned with the socket. Excessive force could damage the pins, socket, or both.

7. Return the server to an operational condition.

   Perform the following procedures before going on to Step 8:

   1. Install the top cover.

      See Install the Top Cover.

   2. Install the server in the rack.

      See Reinstall the Server in the Rack.

   3. Connect the power cords to the server.

      See Reconnect the Power Cords.

8. Connect a terminal or a terminal emulator (PC or workstation) to the SP serial management port.

   If the replacement service processor detects that the service processor firmware is not compatible with the existing host firmware, further action will be suspended and the following message will be delivered over the SER MGT port.

       Unrecognized Chassis: This module is installed in an unknown or
       unsupported chassis. You must upgrade the firmware to a newer
       version that supports this chassis.

   If you see this message, go on to Step 9.

9. Download the system firmware.
   1. Configure the SP's network port to enable the firmware image to be downloaded.

      Refer to the Oracle ILOM documentation for network configuration instructions.

   2. Download the system firmware.

      Follow the firmware download instructions in the Oracle ILOM documentation.

      Note - You can load any supported system firmware version, including the firmware revision that had been installed prior to the replacement of the service processor.

   3. If a backup file was created, use the Oracle ILOM restore utility to restore the configuration of the replacement SP.
