Automated boot recovery (ABR)
If the server is booting up and the IMM detect problems with the server firmware in the primary bank, it will
automatically switch to the backup firmware bank and give you the opportunity to recover the primary bank.
To recover to the server firmware primary bank, complete the following steps.
1. Restart the server.
2. When the prompt press F3 to restore to primary is displayed, press F3 to recover the primary bank.
Pressing F3 will restart the server.
Three boot failure
Configuration changes, such as added devices or adapter firmware updates can cause the server to fail
POST (power-on self-test). If this occurs on three consecutive boot attempts, the server will temporarily use
the default configuration values and automatically goes to F1 Setup. To solve the problem, complete the
following steps:
1. Undo any configuration changes that you made recently and restart the server.
2. Remove any devices that you added recently and restart the server.
3. If the problem remains, go to Setup and select Load Default Settings, and then click Save to restore the
server factory settings.
