Enabling replaced components in the BIOS

When a CPU, an expansion card, or a memory module fails, the defective
component will be set to Disabled or Failed in the BIOS. The server will then
reboot with only the intact hardware components remaining in the system
configuration. After replacing the defective component, it needs to be re-
enabled in the BIOS.
Ê Enter the BIOS.
Ê Select the Advanced menu.
Ê Select the status menu of the desired component:
– CPUs: CPU Status
I
This option is only available for multi-processor systems.
– Memory: Memory Status
– Expansion cards: PCI Status
Ê Reset replaced components to Enable.
Ê Save your changes and exit the BIOS.

For more information on how to access the BIOS and modify settings,
see the corresponding BIOS Setup Utility reference manual.

5.2.10 Verifying the memory mode

If a memory module fails, the server will reboot and the defective module will be
disabled. As a result, the current operation mode (e.g. Mirrored Channel mode)
may no longer be available due to a lack of identical memory module pairs. In
this case, the operation mode will automatically revert to Independent Channel
Mode.
I
For more information on memory operation modes available for your
server, see section
After replacing the defective module(s) the memory operation mode is
automatically reset to its original state. It is recommended to verify that the
operation mode has been correctly.
Ê Enter the BIOS.
Ê Select the Advanced menu.
