Using the Boot ManagerThe Boot Manager program is a built-in, menu-driven configuration utility programthat you can use to temporarily redefine the first startup device without changingsettings in the Setup utility.To use the Boot Manager program, complete the following steps:1. Turn off the server.2. Restart the server.3. When the prompt Select Boot Device is displayed, press F12.4. Use the Up arrow and Down arrow keys to select an item from the menu andpress Enter.The next time the server starts, it returns to the startup sequence that is set in theSetup utility.Starting the backup server firmwareThe system board contains a backup copy area for the server firmware. This is asecondary copy of the server firmware that you update only during the process ofupdating the server firmware. If the primary copy of the server firmware becomesdamaged, use this backup copy.To force the server to start from the backup copy, turn off the server; then, place theJP2 jumper in the backup position (pins 2 and 3).Use the backup copy of the server firmware until the primary copy is restored. Afterthe primary copy is restored, turn off the server; then, move the JP2 jumper back tothe primary position (pins 1 and 2).Using the integrated management module IIThe integrated management module II (IMM2) is the second generation of the IMM.Unlike the first generation of IMM, the IMM2 has three levels of firmware: basic,standard, and premium. The level of IMM2 firmware in your server depends on theserver platform. IMM2 basic firmware provides server management through theIntelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI). IMM2 standard firmware providesbasic functionality plus the ability to manage servers through other user interfaces,such as the web, Telnet, Secure Shell (SSH), and Simple Network ManagementProtocol (SNMP). IMM2 premium firmware provides standard functionality plusremote-presence capability.Some servers that come with IMM2 basic or standard firmware might have anoption to upgrade the IMM2 firmware to a higher level. If you add the serviceprocessor upgrade option to IMM2 basic firmware, the result is IMM2 standardfunctionality. If you add the remote presence upgrade option to IMM2 standardfirmware, the result is IMM2 premium functionality.Note: You cannot upgrade IMM2 basic firmware directly to IMM2 premium firmwareby using the remote presence upgrade option. You must use the serviceprocessor upgrade option to upgrade to IMM2 standard firmware and thenuse the remote presence upgrade option to upgrade to IMM2 premiumfirmware.Chapter 3.
