system does not automatically switch to the redundant ROM, perform the following steps:
1. Power down the server blade (on page 11).
2. Remove the server blade (on page 12).
3. Remove the access panel (on page 13).
4. Change positions 1, 5, and 6 of the system maintenance switch to on.
5. Install the access panel (on page 13).

8. Change positions 1, 5, and 6 of system maintenance switch to off.
9. Repeat steps 5 and 6.
If both the current and backup versions of the ROM are corrupt, return the system board for a service
replacement.
To switch to the backup ROM when the System ROM is not corrupt, use RBSU.
