Back up the current TPM settings. See the HP-UX operating system documentation for more information.

TIP: Running the info io command from the EFI shell will allow you to record the device codes, given in HEX, for your I/O devices. This may be helpful in verifying I/O cards after the upgrade.

4.Shutting Down the Operating System

See Chapter 4 (page 123) for this procedure.

5.Powering Off the Server

See “Powering On and Powering Off the Server” (page 93) for this procedure.

6.Removing the I/O Backplane

See “Removing the I/O Board Assembly” (page 225) for this procedure.

7.Moving Backplane Components

a.Move the Trusted Platform Module. See “Removing and Replacing the Trusted Platform Module” (page 233) for this procedure.

b.Move the I/O Voltage Regulator Module. See “Removing and Replacing the I/O Voltage Regulator Module” (page 232) for this procedure.

c.Move the Core I/O Board. See “Removing and Replacing the Core I/O Board” (page 236) for this procedure.

d.Move the LAN Core I/O Card. See “Removing and Replacing the LAN Core I/O Card” (page 241) for this procedure.

e.Move the SAS Core I/O Card.

TIP: If you are not migrating PCI-X SAS core I/O, skip this procedure.

See “Removing and Replacing the SAS Core I/O Card” (page 239) for this procedure.

f.Move PCI/PCI-X Cards. See “Replacing the I/O Board Assembly” (page 228) for this procedure.

8.Installing New SAS Core I/O

TIP: If you are not installing new SAS core I/O, skip this procedure.

Section (page 268) contains installation procedures for new SAS core I/O cards. There are four types of SAS core I/O cards supported on the server:

•Half length generic PCI-X SAS card supported on HP-UX and Open VMS, see “Installing the HP Eight-Internal Port SAS Host Bus Adapter” (page 269) for installation instructions.

•Full length PCI-X SAS card with RAID capability, supported on Windows and Linux, see“Installing the HP Smart Array P600” (page 270) for installation instructions.

•Full length PCIe SAS card with RAID capability, supported on HP-UX, OpenVMS, Windows and Linux, see“Installing the HP Smart Array P400” (page 271) for installation instructions.

•Full length PCIe SAS card with RAID capability, able to connect to external storage, supported on Windows and Linux, see “Installing the HP Smart Array P800” (page 275) for installation instructions.

9.Installing the New I/O Backplane

IMPORTANT: System information is stored on the I/O board assembly. You must write the serial number and model string information to the new I/O board after installation.

See “Removing the I/O Board Assembly” (page 225) for this procedure.
