system does not automatically switch to the redundant ROM, perform the following steps:

1.

Power down the server blade (on page

2.

Remove the server blade (on page

).

3.

Remove the access panel.

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 backup versions of the ROM are corrupt, return the system board for a service

replacement.
To switch to the backup ROM when the System ROM is not corrupt, use RBSU.
