9.5 Flash Selection by DIP Switch
On some cases it may be necessary to force the board to boot from the other Flash without
using the appropriate IPMI command to switch the Flash chips. In this case, the onboard DIP
switch SW3, switch 2, is used to toggle the active Flash. Note that this switch does not “select”
one Flash chip. It toggles the currently active Flash. Therefore, the IPMI controller will still
switch the flashes by command or in case of the active Flash is defective. Note that using this
DIP switch does not change the way the update CD handles the update procedure. Refer to
the AM5030 user guide for further information.
9.6 Determining the Active Flash
Sometimes it may be necessary to check which Flash is active. On the AMI Aptio-based uEFI
BIOS, the information is available using the EFI shell command “kboardinfo”. For further infor-
mation, refer to the “kboardinfo” section in the uEFI Shell chapter of this document.
