Reconfiguring the AlphaServer IP Platform

4.1 Introduction

In order to upgrade the AlphaServer IP Platform or replace defective parts, you need to remove and install components within the IP Platform. These components are within the individual AlphaServer 1000A system, ISA bus expansion chassis, and modular storage shelf BA35x-Sx subsystems. After you change any IP Platform component, you may want to verify or modify the system configuration.

This chapter lists the components of the IP Platform subsystem that may need to be removed or installed, and the procedure for viewing and modifying the subsystem configurations using the IP Platform console terminal SRM commands.

Before you attempt to install third-party devices inside your system unit, check with the third- party vendor to ensure that your system hardware and operating system software support the device.
