Step 16. Move the UEFI boot recovery jumper from pins 2 and 3 back to the primary position (pins 1 and 2).
Step 17. Reinstall any adapter that you removed before (see
“Replacing an adapter” on page 448).
Step 18. Reinstall the server cover (see
“Installing the cover” on page 425); then, reconnect all power cords.
Step 19. Restart the server. The power-on self-test (POST) starts. If this does not recover the primary bank,
continue with the following steps.
Step 20. Remove the server cover (see
“Removing the cover” on page 424).
Step 21. Reset the CMOS by removing the system battery (see
“Removing the system battery” on page
477
).
Step 22. Leave the system battery out of the server for approximately 5 to 15 minutes.
Step 23. Reinstall the system battery (see
“Installing the system battery” on page 479).
Step 24. Reinstall the server cover (see
“Installing the cover” on page 425); then, reconnect all power cords.
Step 25. Restart the server. The power-on self-test (POST) starts.
Step 26. If these recovery efforts fail, contact your IBM service representative for support.
See
“System-board switches and jumpers” on page 18 for more information about the switches and
jumpers.
In-band automated boot recovery method
Use this information to recover the server firmware and restore the server operation to the primary bank.
Note: Use this method if the BRD LED on the light path diagnostics panel is lit and there is a log entry or
Booting Backup Image is displayed on the firmware splash screen; otherwise, use the in-band manual
recovery method.
Step 1. Boot the server to an operating system that is supported by the firmware update package that you
downloaded.
Step 2. Perform the firmware update by following the instructions that are in the firmware update package
readme file.
Step 3. Restart the server.
Step 4. At the firmware splash screen, press F3 when prompted to restore to the primary bank. The server
boots from the primary bank.
Out-of-band method
Use this information to recover the server firmware and restore the server operation to the primary bank.
See the IMM documentation (Integrated Management Module User's Guide) at
www.ibm.com/support/entry/
portal/docdisplay?lndocid=MIGR-5079770&brandind=5000008
.
Automated boot recovery (ABR)
While the server is starting, if the integrated management module II detects problems with the server
firmware in the primary bank, the server automatically switches to the backup firmware bank and gives you
the opportunity to recover the firmware in the primary bank.
For instructions for recovering the UEFI firmware, see “Recovering the server firmware” on page 395. After
you have recovered the firmware in the primary bank, complete the following steps:
Step 1. Restart the server.
