In-band automated boot recovery method

To download the server UEFI firmware update package from the World Wide Web, complete the following steps.

Note: Use this method if the SYS BRD LED on the light path diagnostics panel is lit and there is an AMM event log entry or Booting Backup Image is displayed on the firmware splash screen; otherwise, use the in-band manual recovery method.
  1. Download the blade server UEFI firmware update from the World Wide Web (see Firmware updates).
  2. Boot the server to an operating system that is supported by the firmware update package that you downloaded (see Turning on the blade server).
  3. Perform the firmware update by following the instructions that are in the firmware update package readme file.
  4. Restart the server (see Turning off the blade server and Turning on the blade server).
  5. At the firmware splash screen, press F3 when prompted to restore to the primary bank. The server boots from the primary bank.
