IBM Flex System x440 Compute Node, Installation And Service Manual

Page: 37 / 584

1. Before you begin, read “Safety” on page v and “Installation guidelines” on
page 487.
2. Turn off the compute node (see “Turning off the compute node” on page 15).
3. Remove the compute node from the IBM Flex System chassis (see “Removing
a compute node from a chassis” on page 489).
4. Remove the cover (see “Removing the compute node cover” on page 498).
5. Locate the boot backup UEFI switch on the switch block and move the switch
to the On position (see “System-board switches” on page 18).
6. Replace the cover and reinstall the compute node in the IBM Flex System
chassis (see “Installing the compute node cover” on page 500 and “Installing a
compute node in a chassis” on page 490).
7. Update the UEFI code (see “Updating firmware and device drivers” on page
23).
8. Turn off the compute node and remove it from the IBM Flex System chassis
(see “Turning off the compute node” on page 15 and “Removing a compute
node from a chassis” on page 489).
9. Remove the cover of the compute node (see “Removing the compute node
cover” on page 498).
10. Locate the boot backup UEFI switch on the switch block and move the switch
to the Off position (see “System-board switches” on page 18).
11. Replace the cover and reinstall the compute node in the IBM Flex System
chassis (see “Installing the compute node cover” on page 500 and “Installing a
compute node in a chassis” on page 490).
12. Restart the compute node (see “Turning on the compute node” on page 13).
Important: If you are unable to manually restore the UEFI code after several
attempts, replace the system-board assembly (see “Removing the base assembly”
on page 529 and “Installing the base assembly” on page 531).
Configuring the compute node
Use this information to configure the compute node.
Procedure
To perform a typical initial configuration, complete the following steps:
Note: To configure a NIC, you configure the IP address of the IMM through the
CMM Web interface. For more informatiinformation, see the "IBM Flex System
Chassis Management Module: User's Guide" at http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/
infocenter/flexsys/information/topic/com.ibm.acc.cmm.doc/
cmm_user_guide.html.
1. Configure the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) firmware for the
compute node by using the Setup utility (see “Using the Setup utility” on page
26 or the Advanced Setup Utility (ASU) (see http://www.ibm.com/support/
entry/portal/docdisplay?lndocid=TOOL-ASU).
For more information about firmware configuration options, see
http://www.ibm.com/support/entry/portal/docdisplay?lndocid=MIGR-
5083207.
2. Set the boot protocol by using the Setup utility (see “Setting the boot protocol
to boot from legacy devices using the Setup utility” on page 31).
