Field-reflashing the internal key
After you replace the internal USB flash key or the system board, you must
initialize the blade appliance from a service key.
About this task
For instruction on removing and installing the internal USB flash key or the system
board, see the IBM BladeCenter HS23 Types 7875 and 1929: Problem Determination and
Service Guide.
The service key comes with a password that must be used to complete the reflash
operation. You retain ownership of the service key and its password. When this
procedure is complete, remove the service key for safe keeping. For information
about creating the service key, see “Creating the service key” on page 2. Do not
reuse the service key unless you verified that it contains the most recent bootable
image.
Attention: Do not power off the blade appliance unless you are instructed to do
so. If the blade appliance is powered off at the wrong time, the results of the
process are unpredictable.
