Using the PXE boot agent utility program
Use these instruction to start the PXE boot agent utility program.
Use the Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) boot agent utility program to select the boot protocol and
other boot options and to select a power-management option.
Notes:
1. The blade server does not support Remote Program Load (RPL) selection for the boot protocol option.
2. Enabling PXE might reduce the number of optional expansion modules that your blade server can
manage.
To start the PXE boot agent utility program, complete the following steps:
1. Turn on the server (see “Turning on the blade server” on page 13).
2. When the
Broadcom NetXtreme Boot Agent vX.X.X
prompt is displayed, press Ctrl + S. You have 2
seconds (by default) to press Ctrl + S after the prompt is displayed.
3. Follow the instructions on the screen to change the settings of the selected items.
Firmware updates
Use this information to update the blade server to the latest levels of UEFI code and firmware updates.
Note:
This section does not apply to the IBM WebSphere DataPower Integration Blade XI50B Type 4195
appliance.
IBM periodically makes UEFI code, service processor (IMM) firmware, and diagnostic firmware
updates available for the blade server. Before you install the blade server in a BladeCenter unit, go to
http://www.ibm.com/systems/support/ to download the latest firmware for the blade server. Install the
updates, using the instructions that are included with the downloaded files.
Important:
To avoid problems and to maintain system performance, always make sure that the UEFI
code, service processor (IMM) firmware, and diagnostic firmware levels are consistent for all blade servers
within the BladeCenter unit.
