Configuring The Compute Node - Lenovo Flex System x440 Compute Node Installation And Service Manual

If the attempt to flash the primary page results in the compute node not booting and the check log LED is not
lit, you can manually restore the UEFI code. To manually restore the UEFI code, complete the following
steps.
Note: If the check log LED is lit, the compute node is booting from the backup image and moving the switch
to backup changes nothing.
1. Before you begin, read
2. Turn off the compute node (see
3. Remove the compute node from the Flex System chassis (see
chassis" on page 880).
4. Remove the cover (see
5. Locate the boot backup UEFI switch on the switch block and move the switch to the On position (see
"System-board switches" on page
6. Replace the cover and reinstall the compute node in the Flex System chassis (see
compute node cover" on page 890
7. Update the UEFI code (see
8. Turn off the compute node and remove it from the Flex System chassis (see
node" on page 17 and
9. Remove the cover of the compute node (see
10. Locate the boot backup UEFI switch on the switch block and move the switch to the Off position (see
"System-board switches" on page
11. Replace the cover and reinstall the compute node in the Flex System chassis (see
compute node cover" on page 890
12. Restart the compute node (see
Important: If you are unable to manually restore the UEFI code after several attempts, replace the system
board (see "Removing and replacing the base assembly" on page

Configuring the compute node

Use this information to configure the compute node.
To perform a typical initial configuration, complete the following steps:
Note: To configure a compute node, you configure the IP address of the IMM through the CMM Web
interface. For more information, see the
pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/flexsys/information/topic/com.lenovo.acc.cmm.doc/ cmm_user_ guide.html
Step 1. Configure the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) firmware for the compute node by using
the Setup utility (see
For more information about firmware configuration options, see
entry/ portal/docdisplay?lndocid=MIGR-5083207.
Step 2. Set the boot protocol by using the Setup utility (see
devices using the Setup utility" on page
You can temporarily redefine the boot order by using the Boot Selection menu program (see
the Boot Selection Menu program" on page
Step 3. Configure the RAID array.
