Using Network Startup (Pxe); Other Notes On Operation - PRIMERGY BX620 S3 User Manual

5.5.5 Using Network Startup (PXE)

to be booted.

Be sure to install ServerView to control the power supply via a LAN.
When booting the server blade with PXE, turn on the server blade power one minute or more after the
main power of the chassis was turned on. Turning on the server blade power just after the main power
was turned on may cause PXE not to boot due to the Switch Blade not having been started.
The PXE boot function is not available for the LAN port of the 1 Gbit/s Ethernet I/O Module.

5.5.6 Other Notes on Operation

■ Unnecessary Files
After OS installation is completed, folders named Runonce and Runonce 2 may be left in the drive
where the OS is installed. Delete these folders since you do not need them for the system operation.
■ Notes on 24-hour Operation
●
Automated System Operation
To provide an extra margin of safety against unintentional damage, introduce disaster-prevention
measures in the office and keep disaster prevention personnel (such as a security guard or janitor) in the
building.
●
Unintentional Power-off Prevention
We recommend the installation of a special power supply device (such as a distribution board) to prevent
unplanned power shut-offs.
