4.2 Entering vital product data
The management card contains the vital product data (VPD) for the service processor.
Bull sets the correct VPD values for a new Escala EL260B blade server. If you order a
replacement management card, the replacement part is not configured. If you install the
management card on the original system board and chassis assembly, the firmware
recognizes the new management card during the initial program load (IPL) and uses
cached values to initialize the management card correctly. After the management card is
initialized, nothing can change its data values.
If you also replace the system board and chassis assembly, or if you somehow delete the
cached data from NVRAM, the firmware cannot initialize the new management card. At
that time, the firmware prompts you for values for the vital product data.
You cannot boot the blade server until you enter valid values for the data.
Important:
The first time that you turn on the blade server after you replace the system board and
chassis assembly and the management card, the firmware prompts you to enter the product
type and model and other vital product data (VPD). If you enter the wrong values, you
cannot correct them after the firmware initializes the management card. Wrong values can
prevent the Escala EL260B blade server from booting.
See Chapter 1, Product overview on page 1 for a description of the VPD information that
you recorded during the installation of the Escala EL260B blade server.
