5.3.8 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.
When CPUs and DIMMs set to Failed are replaced, they are automatically set
to Enabled during the next POST except the following two situations:
●
Communication between BIOS and iRMC temporarily failed during the
POST
.
●
Booting to execute iRMC Emergency Flash.
In this cases, the defective component needs to be reenabled in the BIOS after
replacing it.
▶
Enter the BIOS.
▶
Select the Configuration menu.
▶
Select the status menu of the desired component:
▶
Select CPU Status for CPUs.
This option is only available for multi-processor systems.
▶
Select Memory Status for memory modules.
▶
Select PCI Status
for expansion cards.
▶
Reset replaced components to Enabled.
▶
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.
5.3.9 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 memory mode (e.g. Mirrored Channel
mode) may no longer be available due to a lack of identical memory module
