Checking The Fcb Firmware Version; Chassis Type Sticky Bits - Dell PowerEdge C6320p Owner's Manual

5. Connect LAN port of the sled, and set the IP address to the same domain. For example: Remote address 192.168.0.2
a. Open and set the terminal tool. Use ssh in Putty.exe and set the sled address. For example: Sled address: 192.168.0.120
b. Log in with user name: root and password: calvin
c. Start the NFS service. By using this command: /etc/init.d/rpcbind start
d. Check share folder. By using this command: showmount –e 192.168.0.2
e. NOTE:
• To run the racadm update command from the operating system, ensure that the Remote Access component is
installed. You can install the Remote Access component from the OpenManage DVD or the ISO image.
• To run the racadm update command from iDRAC shell, use SSH in Putty.exe and login as an administrator.
Rename the extension of the firmware update file to *.sc (for example: rename FC309.bin to FC309.sc) and run
the firmware update by executing the command: racadm update –f <updatefile.sc> -l 1.2.3.4:/share
folder. For example: racadm update –f FC309.sc –l 192.168.0.2:/Mydocument
NOTE: After the update process starts this message is displayed RAC1066: Firmware update for FC309.sc initiated
successfully. The iDRAC takes approximately 20 minutes to complete the process after you receive this message.
NOTE: The fan control board (FCB) firmware update file name FC309.sc depends on the firmware level of the
version being updated.
6. NOTE: Ensure that all the installed servers are shut down.
Restart the PE C6300 enclosure after updating the FCB firmware by turning off the main power sources.

Checking the FCB firmware version

Check the fan control board (FCB) firmware version by executing this IPMI command ipmitool –U server_user_name –P
server_user_pass_word –H server_IP –I lanplus raw 0x30 0x12. For example, to check the FCB firmware version v3.09, execute
this command:
ipmitool –U root –P calvin –H 10.3.25.127 –I lanplus raw 0x30 0x12
Response: 01 69 1b 03 09

NOTE:
• The FCB version will be listed in the 4th and 5th bytes (from the left) of the output. In this output, 03 09 (4th and 5th
bytes from the left) indicates the FCB version.
• The fan table version is listed in the 6th byte of the output. In this output,
table version.
• The node slot is listed in the 10th byte of the output. In this output, 04 (10th byte from the left) indicates the node

Chassis type sticky bits

The chassis type sticky bits are used to define the enclosure support for the PowerEdge C6320p sled.
Installing a sled in the PowerEdge C6300 chassis that does not match the chassis type sticky bits results in:
• The enclosure fans running to 100% speed
• The sled UID LED blinking blue
• The sled power button blinking amber
• An "Unable to control the fan speed because a sled mismatch or hardware incompatibility is detected" entry being logged in the
System Event Log (SEL) of the sled
• Unable to control the fan speed due to sled mismatch or hardware incompatibility is detected
