Cisco UCS B200 M4 - Page 7

Use the procedures in the Cisco UCS B200 M4 Blade Server Installation and Service Note.
Step 4
Reinsert the server into the chassis.
Step 5
Wait for Cisco UCS Manager to automatically discover the server.
At this point, the Health LED os the server shows a critical fault and Cisco UCS Manager reports a generic error
message: WILL_BOOT_FAULT: Sensor failure asserted. This message indicates that a board controller
activation is required, which is described in the next step.
Note
Step 6
Wait for Cisco UCS Manager to automatically activate the board controller version.
Step 7
Do not continue with the next step until the board controller activation completes. Verify if the activation is complete
by using the show version command.
Wait until Activate-Status returns Ready. This process takes a few minutes before it successfully completes and returns
Ready.

Activate-Status: Ready
Step 8
Use the Cisco UCS Manager GUI to clear the WILL_BOOT_FAULT and reset the server CIMC:
a) In the Navigation pane, click the Equipment tab.
b) On the Equipment tab, expand Equipment > Chassis > Chassis number > Servers, then choose your server.
c) In the Work pane, click the General tab.
d) In the Actions area, click Recover Server.
e) In the Recover Server dialog, click Reset CIMC (Server Controller), then click OK.
Wait for CIMC to reboot and for Cisco UCS Manager to do a shallow discovery of the sever. This process take two to
three minutes. At the end of this process, the WILL_BOOT_FAULT is cleared
.
The Cisco UCS Manager bundle, including the server CIMC and BIOS, is backward-compatible with earlier
supported CPUs. As a result, the following firmware downgrade steps are optional.
