▼ To Recover From a Corrupt SP
1. Copy all SP files from the Tools and Drivers CD to a USB flash device.
The SP files are located in the BMCrecovery directory, on the Tools and Drivers
CD. They consist of:
■ SOCFLASH.EXE
■ DOS4GW
■
BMC Binary (SP Binary file)
2. Remove AC power from system to be flashed.
Note – Do not attempt to flash the system while it is still powered on. An
unrecoverable error might occur.
3. Remove the server’s top cover.
4. Using a jumper cap, short the pins at jumper JP20 on the server motherboard.
JP20 is located toward the rear of the board. See the Sun Fire X4150 Server Service
Manual for the precise location.
5. Insert the bootable flash drive into the USB port.
6. Connect AC power and power on the system.
a. A message appears stating that the BMC was not found.
The system takes up to three minutes to boot.
b. Press F2 to enter system BIOS and verify that the Flash device is in the boot
order.
7. Once the flash device is booted, run the following command:
socflash.exe SP binary backup file
For example:
socflash.exe s92v092.bin backup.bin
8. After a successful flash, remove the AC power and jumper, and leave the
system powered off for up to 30 seconds.
9. Power on the system.
10. Confirm that the SP is listed in the BIOS settings under Server/AST2000 LAN
Configuration.
