Firmware
The server blade has two sets of firmware installed:
• Server blade firmware
• iLO 3 MP firmware
Identifying and troubleshooting firmware issues
Erratic server blade operation, or unsuccessful boot to the
UEFI Boot Manager
or UEFI Shell, are
symptoms of possible firmware issues.
NOTE:
Firmware issues are relatively rare. Look for other problem causes first.
Probable firmware failure areas are:
Procedure
1.
Unsupported firmware installation
2.
Corrupt firmware installation
To troubleshoot firmware issues:
• Verify that all server blade firmware components are from the same release (use the MP
sysrev
command).
• Reinstall server blade firmware.
Verify and install the latest firmware

Troubleshooting the server interface (system console)
Cause
System console connections using the RS-232 cable are made through the port connectors on the front
of the server blade, through the SUV cable. The MP LAN connection can be made via the network or OA.
HP-UX uses the RS-232 serial text connection to a dumb terminal, or to terminal emulator software
running on a PC, to control server blade operations locally. All other connections are unsupported.
