The 

 command in the sequence below lists the board controller versions available for 

the server. Always activate the latest board controller image version when you use the

Do not continue with the next step until the board controller activation completes. Verify whether the 
activation is complete by using the show version command. 

As shown in the example below, wait until the Activate-Status returns Ready. This process takes a few 
minutes before Activate-status is successfully completed and returns Ready.

# show version

BoardController:

    Running-Vers: 8.0

    Package-Vers:

    Activate-Status: Ready

Clear the WILL_BOOT_FAULT 

by 

using the Cisco UCS Manager GUI to reset the server CIMC:

In the Navigation pane, click the Equipment tab.

On the Equipment tab, expand Equipment > Chassis > Chassis number > Servers, then choose 
your server.

In the Work pane, click the General tab.

Wait for CIMC to reboot and for Cisco UCS Manager to do a shallow discovery of the server. This 
takes two to three minutes. At the end of this process the WILL_BOOT_FAULT is cleared.
