System maintenance switch procedures
When you perform troubleshooting steps, this guide may instruct you to perform the following procedures:
• Clear the system configuration ("Clearing the system configuration" on page 59).
• Access the redundant ROM ("Accessing the redundant ROM" on page 60).
To complete these procedures, you must change physical settings on the system maintenance switch.
Clearing the system configuration
RBSU can be used to restore the factory default configuration. For more information, see "HP ROM-Based
Setup Utility (on page 51)." If the system is unable to boot into RBSU, use the following steps to clear the
system configuration:
1. Power down the server blade (on page 24).
2. Remove the server blade (on page 25).
3. Remove the access panel ("Access panel" on page 26).
4. Change position 6 of the system maintenance switch to on.
5. Install the access panel ("Access panel" on page 26).
6. Install the server blade in the enclosure and power up the server blade.
7. Wait for the POST message that prompts you to change the switch setting:
Maintenance switch detected in the "On" position.
Power off the server and turn switch to the "Off" position.
8. Repeat steps 1 through 3.
9. Change position 6 of the system maintenance switch to off.
10. Repeat steps 5 and 6.
IMPORTANT: When the server blade boots after NVRAM is cleared, a delay of up to 2 minutes
is normal. During this delay, the system appears non-functional. Do not attempt any procedures
during the delay.
