Recovering
the
system
firmware
code
If
the
system
firmware
code
has
become
damaged,
such
as
from
a
power
failure
during
a
flash
update,
the
blade
server
might
appear
to
be
nonfunctional
(no
progress
codes
or
firmware
codes).
You
can
recover
the
system
firmware
code
by
using
the
system
firmware
code
page
jumper
(J14).
Note:
To
obtain
a
system
firmware
flash
image,
download
a
system
firmware
file
from
http://www.ibm.com/support/.
The
system
firmware
is
contained
in
two
separate
images
in
the
flash
memory
of
the
blade
server
(primary
and
backup).
Note:
The
primary
image
is
also
known
as
the
TEMP
side
of
the
flash
module.
The
backup
image
is
also
known
as
the
PERM
side
of
the
flash
module.
If
the
primary
image
becomes
damaged,
such
as
from
a
power
failure
during
a
flash
update,
you
can
recover
the
primary
image
from
the
backup
image.
If
this
occurs,
you
can
see
one
of
two
symptoms:
v
The
system
automatically
starts
up
from
backup.
This
is
indicated
by
the
error
code
20D00902.
v
The
system
automatically
starts
up
from
backup.
This
is
indicated
by
an
event
log
message
“OS
Watchdog
Triggered”.
v
The
system
hangs
or
is
non-responsive
after
the
system
is
started
with
no
checkpoints.
