1. Is the system managed by an HMC?
   • No: Go to step 6.
   • Yes: The HMC will be required for this procedure. Move to the HMC and continue with the next step only if the HMC is functional.
2. Can the customer power off the partition at this time?
   • Yes: Power off the partition from the operating system console or the HMC. Then, continue with the next step.
   • No: The IOP controlling the partition's console may be controlling other critical resources. The partition must be powered off to exchange this IOP. Perform this procedure when the customer is able to power off the partition. Then, continue with the next step.
3. Perform the following to determine the unit machine type, model, and serial number where the console IOP is located and the location of the console IOP:
   1. From the Navigation Area of the HMC, select the Management Environment.
   2. Select and expand the HMC environment for this HMC.
   3. Select and expand Server and Partition.
   4. Select Server Management.
   5. Double-click the i5/OS partition you are working on.
   6. Select the Settings tab.
   7. Record the location of the load source IOP. The unit type, model, and serial number are the first three parts of the location code and are separated by periods.
   8. Continue with the next step.
4. Record the frame type or feature by using the frame ID and system configuration listing or by locating the frame with that ID and recording the frame type or feature.
5. Perform the following to exchange the IOP in that card position:
   1. Go to Locating FRUs and select the unit type and model that you recorded.
   2. Locate the card position in the FRU locations table and use the exchange procedure that is identified.
   3. Power on the partition.

      This ends the procedure.

6. The problem is in the i5/OS partition of a system with one or more partitions that is not managed by an HMC. Use the table below to determine the location of the load source IOP and the appropriate exchange procedure.

   Model	Load source IOP location	Load source IOA location	Link to locations information
   MMA	-P1-C1	embedded SCSI in -P1	Locating FRUs

   This ends the procedure.
