IMPORTANT: When the server blade boots after NVRAM is cleared, a delay of up to 2 minutes is normal. During this delay, the system appears non-functional. Do not attempt any procedures during the delay. Accessing the redundant ROM If the system ROM is not corrupted, use RBSU to switch to the redundant ROM. If the system ROM is corrupted, the system automatically switches to the redundant ROM in most cases. If the system does not automatically switch to the redundant ROM, perform the following steps: 1. Power down the server blade (on page 23). 2. Remove the server blade (on page 23). 3. Remove the access panel ("Access panel" on page 24). 4. Change positions 1, 5, and 6 of the system maintenance switch to on. 5. Install the access panel. 6. Install the server blade in the enclosure and power up the server blade. 7. After the system beeps, repeat steps 1 through 3. 8. Change positions 1, 5, and 6 of system maintenance switch to off. 9. Repeat steps 5 and 6. If both the current and redundant ROM are corrupted, return the system board for a service replacement. Component identification 62
