ResultsThe next time the server starts, it returns to the startup sequence that is set in theSetup utility.Starting the backup server firmwareUse this information to start the backup server firmware.About this taskThe 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, placethe J2 jumper in the backup position (pins 2 and 3).Use the backup copy of the server firmware until the primary copy is restored.After the primary copy is restored, turn off the server; then, move the J2 jumperback to the primary position (pins 1 and 2).The UpdateXpress System Pack InstallerThe UpdateXpress System Pack Installer detects supported and installed devicedrivers and firmware in the server and installs available updates.For additional information and to download the UpdateXpress System PackInstaller, go to the ToolsCenter for System x and BladeCenter athttp://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/toolsctr/v1r0/ and click UpdateXpressSystem Pack Installer.Using the integrated management module IIThe integrated management module II (IMM2) is a second generation of thefunctions that were formerly provided by the baseboard management controllerhardware. It combines service processor functions, video controller, and remotepresence function in a single chip.The IMM supports the following basic systems-management features:v Active Energy Manager.v Alerts (in-band and out-of-band alerting, PET traps - IPMI style, SNMP, e-mail).v Auto Boot Failure Recovery (ABR).v Automatic microprocessor disable on failure and restart in a two-microprocessorconfiguration when one microprocessor signals an internal error. When one ofthe microprocessors fail, the server will disable the failing microprocessor andrestart with the other microprocessor.v Automatic Server Restart (ASR) when POST is not complete or the operatingsystem hangs and the operating system watchdog timer times-out. The IMMmight be configured to watch for the operating system watchdog timer andreboot the system after a timeout, if the ASR feature is enabled. Otherwise, theIMM allows the administrator to generate a nonmaskable interrupt (NMI) bypressing an NMI button on the light path diagnostics panel for anoperating-system memory dump. ASR is supported by IPMI.Chapter 3. Configuration information and instructions 99
