13. Remove the Field Upgrade Only sticker from the bezel of the Upgrade Blade Link. This is no longer a
Field Upgrade Blade Link because the Serial Number and UUID have now been programmed on the
Blade Link.
14. As mentioned earlier, the nPartition configuration of the upgraded server defaults to a single partition.
An example of what might be seen entering the npar command from the iLO 3 MP Command Menu
is shown below for an upgrade to a BL890c i4.

15. When a blade is changed from one nPartition to another, the system variable and configuration
information is cleared. This provides a convenient method for ensuring that all Auxiliary blades in the
upgraded server are cleared of stale or inconsistent information. Set the nPartition configuration to
the highest number of partitions possible for the upgraded server. For a BL870c i4 that will be two
(AB) while for a BL890c i4 that will be four (ABCD). The iLO 3 MP will automatically reset for the
change to take effect. An example output is shown below for a BL890c i4. Note that since the
Monarch blade never changes partitions (it always remains in the 'A' partition), that blade will not
have its system environment variables cleared.
