Ensure the FN IOM is in Standalone Mode using the Dell Blade I/O Manager GUI Dashboard view
(Figure 59) below.
The CLI command show system stack-unit 0 iom-mode (Figure 60) can also be used to
confirm this default state.
If it is not in Standalone Mode, reset the FN IOM to factory defaults. Figure 61 shows how to reset to
factory defaults in the CLI while Figure 62 through Figure 67 shows how to use the Dell Blade I/O
Manager.
Note: It is a best practice to reset the FN IOM to factory defaults when changing between modes of
operation i.e. Standalone mode to VLT, Stacking, Full Switch, or Programmable Mux.
