Initial Settings On The Server - NEC Bull NovaScale R620 User Manual

Initial Settings on the Server

1. To monitor each device in detail, device-specific sensor information should be written into this card.
If information specific to the server has not been written in, activation of the server pauses while our logo is
displayed or with the following message telling you that the server-specific information is not written.
H/W Configuration of BMC is corrupted.
!! Update BMC H/W Configuration by configuration tool !!
!! Refer to BMC configuration manual !!
The message above may appear in a different screen during POST with our logo shown and paused. In that case,
press the Esc key to display the diagnosis screen to check whether or not the above message is shown. If a
different error message is shown, refer to Chapter 7 "Troubleshooting."
2. How to make initial settings
Either wait for a while after the above message is shown or press the F1 key to precede POST. Start up the
"EXPRESSBUILDER"CD-ROM and select "initialize Remote Management Card" from the Tool menu. By
doing so, information specific to each server will be written in.
When writing the information is completed, the following message appears. Press any key to reboot the server
for use.
Strike a key when ready...
TIPS:
Running the initialize Remote Management Card resets the AC LINK setting (Server-AC LINK) of the BIOS
setup to the initial value "Last State." If you have changed the value, you will need to set it again.
3. BMC FW Update Service
BMC FT Update Service is required for updating the BMC firmware.
(1) Start Windows on the PC and set the "EXPRESSBUILDER" CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.
(2) The master control menu of EXPRESSBUILDER is displayed by the auto start-up function. Click
"Setup" and then "BMC Online Update."
