Using the baseboard management controller
The mini-baseboard management controller provides basic environmental
monitoring for the server. If environmental conditions exceed thresholds or if system
components fail, the baseboard management controller lights LEDs to help you
diagnose the problem and also records the error in the BMC system-event log.
Important: If the system-error LED on the front of the server is lit but there are no
other error indications or you have corrected all errors, restart the server. If the LED
continues to remain lit after you restart the server, power off the server; then, turn
the server on again.
Using the baseboard management controller utility programs
Use the baseboard management controller utility programs to configure the
baseboard management controller, download firmware updates and SDR/FRU
updates, and remotely manage a network.
Using the baseboard management controller configuration utility
program
Use the baseboard management controller configuration utility program to view or
change the baseboard management controller configuration settings. You can also
