    Step 8. Restart the blade server (see “Turning on the blade server” on page 6). The system begins the power-on self-test (POST). Step 9. Boot the server to an operating system that is supported by the firmware update package that you downloaded.
  • Page 272: In-Band Automated Boot Recovery Method

    Step 5. Locate the UEFI boot block recovery switch (SW1-5) on the system board (see “System-board switch” on page 8). Step 6. Use your finger to move switch SW1-5 to the ON position. Step 7. Replace the cover and reinstall the blade server in the BladeCenter unit, making sure that the media tray is selected by the relevant blade server.
  • Page 273: Out-Of-Band Automated Boot Recovery Method

    Note: Use this method if the SYS BOARD LED on the light path diagnostics panel is lit and there is an AMM event log entry or Booting Backup Image is displayed on the firmware splash screen; otherwise, use the in- band manual recovery method.

  • Page 277: Network Connection Problems

    Note: Some BladeCenter unit types have several management-module components that might have to be tested or replaced (see the Installation Guide for your Advanced Management Module for more information). Step 8. Replace the Advanced Management Module (see the documentation for your BladeCenter unit). If these steps do not solve the problem, it is likely a problem with the blade server.

    • The power-on LED on the blade server flashes slowly before you press the power-control button. Note: While the service processor in the blade server is initializing and synchronizing with the management module, the power-on LED flashes rapidly, and the power-control button on the blade server does not respond.
  • Page 279 Notes: When you are diagnosing a problem in the blade server, you must determine whether the problem is in the blade server or in the BladeCenter unit. • If all of the blade servers have the same symptom, the problem is probably in the BladeCenter unit. For more information, see the Hardware Maintenance Manual and Troubleshooting Guide or Problem Determination and Service Guide for your BladeCenter unit.

    b. System board c. Microprocessor If the problem is solved when you remove an I/O expansion card from the blade server but the problem recurs when you reinstall the same card, suspect the I/O expansion card; if the problem recurs when you replace the card with a different one, suspect the system board.

This specification sets forth limits for particulates and gases that are intended to avoid such damage. The limits must not be viewed or used as definitive limits, because numerous other factors, such as temperature or moisture content of the air, can influence the impact of particulates or environmental corrosives and gaseous contaminant transfer.
