Reset CHARM I/O Cards

If the CHARM I/O Card (CIOC) assembly ( CIOCs, CIOC carrier and I/O Ports) was removed without being decommissioned, the CIOCs must be reset before they can be installed and commissioned to another system. CIOCs that were moved to another system without being properly decommissioned can interfere with communications to an existing node that has the same IP address.

  1. Remove both CIOCs from the carrier.
  2. Install the CIOCs in the opposite slots: move the CIOC in the right slot to the left slot and move the CIOC in the left slot to the right slot.
