Identifying your server

While you are working on a cabinet that contains several slim servers, it can be difficult to keep 
track of which server or servers you are currently working on. The System ID indicator is a yellow 
LED (front) or blue LED (back) that you can turn on to help you locate the correct server. For the 
System ID indicator to turn on, the server does not need to be turned on, but it does need to 
be plugged in.

To turn on the System ID indicator:

 

1

Press the ID button on the control panel of the server. The yellow (front) and blue (back) 
ID LED indicators turn on. For the location of these LEDs, see 

.

2

To turn off the indicator, press the System ID button.

Updating the baseboard management controller 
firmware

The baseboard management controller (BMC) performs several system management functions 
such as:

•

Monitoring server components (FRU) and sensor data records (SDR) (the information 
provided depends on the option selected)

•

Managing non-volatile storage for the system event log and sensor data records

•

Interfacing with the emergency management port to send alerts and interact with remote 
management systems

•

Fault resilient booting (the extent depends on the option selected)

You should update the BMC firmware when Gateway Customer Care has instructed you to update 
it.

To update the BMC firmware:

 

1

Download the BMC firmware zip file from 

support.gateway.com

.

2

Read the release notes for the firmware update.

3

Follow the instructions on the Web site or in the readme.txt file in the downloaded zip file 
to update the firmware.

4

When the BMC update is complete, reboot your server.

If your server has an Intel IMM module installed, the system ID LED will turn on or 

off when the System ID button is pressed. If no IMM Module is installed, the system ID 
LED will blink when the System ID button is pressed.
