NOTE: You must lock the SD card prior to inserting in the USB "Memory Card Reader" to prevent accidently modifying any of the contents. You must unlock the SD card before inserting into the CMC.

FlexAddress Plus

The FlexAddress Plus is a new feature added to the feature card version 2.0. FlexAddress Plus expands the number of MAC addresses to 3136 from the original FlexAddress pool of 208.

Activating FlexAddress

FlexAddress is delivered on a Secure Digital (SD) card that must be inserted into the CMC to provide the chassis-assigned WWN/MAC IDs. To activate the FlexAddress feature, perform several required updates; if you are not activating FlexAddress, these updates are not required. The updates, which are listed in the following table, include server module BIOS, I/O mezzanine BIOS or firmware, and CMC firmware. You must apply these updates before you enable FlexAddress. If these updates are not applied, the FlexAddress feature may not function as expected.

NOTE: All systems purchased after June 2008 have the correct firmware versions installed.
