Hot-Swap LED
The blue LED on the bottom of the panel is the hot-swap LED. When
illuminated it indicates that it is safe to remove the board from the slot. The
IPMI firmware automatically extinguishes the hot-swap LED shortly after
insertion and ejector lock (or shortly after system power-up if the board is
already inserted and locked). Note that system software is responsible for
re-illuminating the LED once it has been extinguished by the IPMI
subsystem.
Soft Reset
A soft reset can be generated from the Watchdog Timer. The two-stage,
watchdog timer is built into the 6300 ESB ICH, it is programmable from 1
microsecond to 10 minutes.The system host CPU deactivates the PCI-to-
PCI bridge before implementing the reset function. The BIOS preserves as
much of the system memory state as possible.
PXE Boot
Use the following steps to boot the CPIP5430 from a PreBoot Execution
Environment (PXE) server.
Note
This explanation is only the sequence to get you into the PXE
server environment. For an explanation on how to use the PXE
server/software refer to the Intel web site and download the
appropriate software:

To begin:
1. Press the <F2> or S key during system startup to enter the BIOS
setup engine.
2. From the main Setup menu choose Peripherals.
3. Enable the gigabit controller that you want to boot from and
enable the corresponding gigabit Boot ROM. If the controller and
Boot ROM were enabled prior to entering Setup, go to Step 6.
