NOTE: Any system ordered after June 2008 has the correct firmware versions.
To make sure proper deployment of the FlexAddress feature, update the BIOS and the firmware in the following order:
1. Update all mezzanine card firmware and BIOS.
2. Update server module BIOS.
3. Update iDRAC firmware on the server module.
4. Update all CMC firmware in the chassis; if redundant CMCs are present, ensure both are updated.
5. Insert the SD card into the passive module for a redundant CMC module system or into the single CMC module for a
non-redundant system.
NOTE: If CMC firmware that supports FlexAddress (version 1.10 or later) is not installed, the feature is not
activated.
See the
Chassis Management Controller (CMC) Secure Digital (SD) Card Technical Specification document
for SD card installation instructions.
NOTE: The SD card contains a FlexAddress feature. Data contained on the SD card is encrypted and may not
be duplicated or altered in any way as it may inhibit system function and cause the system to malfunction.
NOTE: Your use of the SD card is limited to one chassis only. If you have multiple chassis, you must purchase
additional SD cards.
Activation of the FlexAddress feature is automatic on restart of CMC with the SD feature card installed; this
activation causes the feature to bind to the current chassis. If you have the SD card installed on the redundant
CMC, activation of the FlexAddress feature does not occur until the redundant CMC is made active. See the
Chassis
Management Controller (CMC) Secure Digital (SD) Card Technical Specification document for information on how
to make a redundant CMC active.
When CMC restarts, verify the activation process. For more information, see
Verifying FlexAddress Activation .
