Preparing to convert the expansion unit

 

To prepare for the expansion unit conversion, perform these tasks. Before you begin these preparation tasks, be sure you have completed the necessary planning. Then perform the following tasks.

1. Resequence SPCN addressing.

2. Document and prepare the server.

Now that you have finished preparing for the expansion unit conversion, your next step is to perform the expansion unit conversion.

• Resequencing SPCN addressing
  Before you generate any printouts, resequence the system power control network (SPCN) addressing. This ensures that when the IBM^® service representative performs the SPCN address resequencing after the expansion unit conversion, minimal sequencing changes occur.

• Documenting and preparing the server
  Ensure that the currently installed server and logical partitions are fully documented before the service representative arrives to perform the expansion unit conversion.
