5.3.8 Enabling replaced components in the BIOS
When a CPU, an expansion card, or a memory module fails, the defective
component will be set to
Disabled
or
Failed
in the BIOS. The server will then
reboot with only the intact hardware components remaining in the system
configuration.
When CPUs and DIMMs set to
Failed
are replaced, they are automatically set
to
Enabled
during the next POST except the following two situations:
●
Communication between BIOS and iRMC temporarily failed during the
POST.
● Booting to execute iRMC Emergency Flash.
In this cases, the defective component needs to be reenabled in the BIOS after
replacing it.
▶
Enter the BIOS.
▶
Select the
Configuration
menu.
▶
Select the status menu of the desired component:
▶
Select
CPU Status
for CPUs.
This option is only available for multi-processor systems.
▶
Select
Memory Status
for memory modules.
▶
Select
PCI Status
for expansion cards.
▶
Reset replaced components to
Enabled
.
▶
Save your changes and exit the BIOS.
For more information on how to access the BIOS and modify settings,
see the corresponding BIOS Setup Utility reference manual.

If a memory module fails, the server will reboot and the defective module will
be disabled. As a result, the current memory mode (e.g. Mirrored Channel
mode) may no longer be available due to a lack of identical memory module
