Resetting the planar BIOS and RSA-II card to factory defaults

When you install a new AS 5300 server (new installation or replacement of a failed server), you must configure the BIOS settings of the server to the standard product supported configuration. This involves the resetting of the BIOS settings to factory defaults followed by the application of product-specific configuration settings. Restoring of factory defaults for any of the BIOS components does not have an impact on the others. They need to be restored independently.

Use this procedure to reset the planar BIOS and RSA-II card to the factory default settings.

Attention: When you reset the RSA-II card, all existing network connections to the RSA-II Ethernet interface are disconnected and no further connections can be made until network settings are reconfigured.

Procedure Steps

Step Action

1From the physical KVM console, reboot the AS 5300 server and press F1 at the IBM splash screen when prompted to access the planar BIOS configuration utility.

2From the Configuration/Setup Utility menu, select the System Summary option and confirm "8192 MB" (8 GB) for Installed Memory. If it is not, contact your next level of support before proceeding.

Attention: If the system summary does not show 8192 MB, confirm the order code matches the serial number for the server against the shipping packing list (or the box the server was delivered in).

Order code XYSG9US: 8 GB of RAM AS5300 Linux Core Servers

Order code XYSGAUS: 4 GB of RAM MAS Platform Servers

It also possible that the server may have the correct order code
