  Cisco UCS Blade Server
Downgrading the Cisco Server From Intel E5-4600 v2 Series CPUs
Note
This downgrade procedure requires server downtime.
This scenario assumes the following conditions:
  •
The Cisco UCS Manager software is at version 2.2(2c) or later.
  •
The server is using BIOS/CIMC version 2.2(2c) or later. 
  •
The server is using the Intel E5-4600 v2 Series CPUs.
Use the following procedure to downgrade to earlier supported CPUs. 
Step 1
Disassociate the server in Cisco UCS Manager.
Step 2
Power off the server.
Step 3
Replace the Intel E5-4600 v2 Series CPUs with the earlier supported CPUs.
Use the procedures in the 
Step 4
Reinsert the server to the chassis.
Step 5
Wait for Cisco UCS Manager to automatically discover the server.
Note
At this point, the Health LED of the server shows a critical fault and Cisco UCS Manager reports 
a generic error message: 
WILL_BOOT_FAULT: Sensor failure asserted
. This is because a board 
controller activation is required, as described in the next step.
Step 6
Clear the WILL_BOOT_FAULT 
by 
using the Cisco UCS Manager GUI to reset the server CIMC:
a.
In the Navigation pane, click the Equipment tab.
b.
On the Equipment tab, expand Equipment > Chassis > Chassis number > Servers, then choose 
your server.
c.
In the Work pane, click the General tab.
d.
In the Actions area, click Recover Server.
e.
In the Recover Server dialog, click Reset CIMC (Server Controller), then click OK.
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.
Note
The Cisco UCS Manager 2.2(2c) bundle, including the server CIMC and BIOS, is 
backward-compatible with earlier supported CPUs, so the following firmware downgrade steps 
are optional.
Step 7
Optional: Downgrade your server CIMC.
Use the GUI or CLI procedures in the 
Step 8
Optional: Downgrade your server BIOS.
