Verifying and Updating the Fan Controller Board

Firmware Via SNMP

NOTE:

The following procedure applies only when there are no compute sleds

installed in the server enclosure.

When the PowerEdge C8000 server enclosure is fully populated with five

storage sleds only, you can use Simple Network Management Protocol

(SNMP) to verify and update the fan controller board (FCB) firmware. The

FCB is integrated with an Ethernet connector and supports SNMP v2c that

allows you to monitor the server enclosure status over the network and send

traps or notifications when critical situations occur.

Before You Begin

1 Install a SNMP utility on your computer. You can install a commercial or a

free SNMP utility.
