Nx boot failure
This information describes the Nx boot failure feature that the server supports.
About this task
Configuration changes, such as added devices or adapter firmware updates, and
firmware or application code problems can cause the server to fail POST (power-on
self-test). If this occurs, the server responds in either of the following ways:
v The server restarts automatically and attempts POST again.
v The server hangs, and you must manually restart the server for the server to
attempt POST again.
After a specified number of consecutive attempts (automatic or manual), the Nx
boot failure feature causes the server to revert to the default UEFI configuration
and start the Setup utility so that you can make the necessary corrections to the
configuration and restart the server. If the server is unable to successfully complete
POST with the default configuration, there might be a problem with the system
board.
To specify the number of consecutive restart attempts in the Setup utility that will
trigger the Nx boot failure feature, complete the following steps. The available
values are 3, 6, 9, and 255 (disable Nx boot failure).
Procedure
1. From the Setup utility main menu, select System Settings..
2. Next select Recovery.
3. Select POST Attempts; then, select POST Attempts Limit.
4. Modify the configuration settings and select Save Settings; then, exit Setup.
