Important I/O Configuration Considerations
Ensure that you read the DRAC/MC’s readme.txt file. It contains updated information, including system indicator behavior in certain conditions.
CAUTION: Data loss can result if you perform certain actions on a system in which the I/O bays have not been configured correctly. Specifically, bay 2 should have an I/O module installed only if a module of the same fabric type is present in bay 1, and bay 4 should have an I/O module installed only if a module of the same fabric type is present in bay 3. Except in these cases (or in a case where you temporarily need to swap a failed I/O module in bay 1 or 3), bays 2 and 4 should be unoccupied.
Unless your system is configured according to these guidelines, do not perform any of the following actions:
•Upgrade DRAC/MC firmware
•Issue a software reset command for a DRAC/MC, such as racadm racreset
