Resetting the planar BIOS and RSA-II card to factory defaults
When you install a new AS 5300 server (new installation or replacement
of a failed server), you must configure the BIOS settings of the server to
the standard product supported configuration. This involves the resetting
of the BIOS settings to factory defaults followed by the application of
product-specific configuration settings. Restoring of factory defaults for
any of the BIOS components does not have an impact on the others. They
need to be restored independently.
Use this procedure to reset the planar BIOS and RSA-II card to the factory
default settings.
Attention: When you reset the RSA-II card, all existing network
connections to the RSA-II Ethernet interface are disconnected and no
further connections can be made until network settings are reconfigured.
Procedure Steps
Step Action
1 From the physical KVM console, reboot the AS 5300 server and
press F1 at the IBM splash screen when prompted to access the
planar BIOS configuration utility.
2 From the Configuration/Setup Utility menu, select the System
Summary option and confirm "8192 MB" (8 GB) for Installed
Memory. If it is not, contact your next level of support before
proceeding.
Attention: If the system summary does not show 8192 MB,
confirm the order code matches the serial number for the server
against the shipping packing list (or the box the server was
delivered in).
Order code XYSG9US: 8 GB of RAM AS5300 Linux Core
Servers
Order code XYSGAUS: 4 GB of RAM MAS Platform Servers
It also possible that the server may have the correct order code
