1.Display description label locations

This option allows you to display or print the current configuration label location information. It is the customer’s responsibility to configure and assign labels in the system for cables and devices. Before a system upgrade procedure, the service representative uses this option to identify cables and devices that might need a (physical) label attached.

For more information on how to use this option before an upgrade, see “Using the configuration description label information to prepare for a system upgrade”.

2.Change description label locations

This option allows you to display, change, or print a worksheet of the current configuration label location information. Use this option after a system upgrade to compare the system configuration description label information with the (physical) label that is attached to the cable or device. If the labels do not match, use the Change Description Label Locations display to change the system label.

For more details on how to use this option after an upgrade, see “Using the configuration description label information after a system upgrade” on page 304.

Using the configuration description label information to prepare for a system upgrade

Before powering the system down for an upgrade, you must record specific system value information, verify the system configuration, and create (physical) labels to attach to the system cables and devices.
