PowerEdge Blades — CMC Firmware
Requirements
PowerEdge M905 and M805 blades require CMC firmware version 1.2 or
later. PowerEdge M610 and M710 blades require CMC firmware version 2.0
or later. If you add these blades to an M1000e enclosure with an older CMC
firmware version, the new blades will not power on.
NOTE: See the latest Dell Chassis Management Controller User's Guide at
support.dell.com for complete instructions on how to configure and operate
the CMC module.
Updating the CMC Firmware
Downloading the CMC Firmware
Before beginning the firmware update, download the latest firmware version
from the support.dell.com website, and save it to your local system.
The following software components are included with your CMC firmware
package:
Compiled CMC firmware code and data
Web-based interface, JPEG, and other user interface data files
Default configuration files
Use the Firmware Update page to update the CMC firmware to the latest
revision.
NOTE: See the latest Dell Chassis Management Controller User's Guide at
support.dell.com for complete instructions on how to configure and operate
the CMC module.
NOTE: The firmware update, by default, will retain the current CMC settings.
During the update process, you have the option to reset the CMC configuration
settings back to the factory default settings.
12 Information Update
Updating Firmware in a Redundant CMC Configuration
CAUTION: In a redundant CMC configuration, you must update CMC firmware on
both modules. Failure to do so may cause unexpected behavior during a CMC
failover or failback. Use the following procedure for redundant CMC deployments.
1
Locate the secondary or standby CMC by using the RACADM
getsysinfo
command, or by using the
Chassis Summary
page in the
Web-based
interface
.
The status indicator will be solid blue on the primary or active
CMC module and off on the standby or secondary CMC.
2
Update the firmware on the standby CMC first. See "Updating the CMC
Firmware Using the Web-based Interface" or "Updating the CMC
Firmware Using RACADM."
3
Verify that the secondary or standby CMC’s firmware is at the requested
level with the
getsysinfo
command or through the
Web-based interface
.
4
After the standby CMC has rebooted, update the firmware on the active
or primary CMC. Allow 10 minutes for the standby CMC to boot.
See "Updating the CMC Firmware Using the Web-based Interface"
or "Updating the CMC Firmware Using RACADM."
5
Verify that the active or primary CMC firmware is at the requested level
using the
getsysinfo
command or through the
Web-based interface
.
6
Once both CMCs are updated to the same firmware revision, use the
cmcchangeover
command to reset the CMC in the left slot as primary.
Updating the CMC Firmware Using the Web-based Interface
1
Log in to the Web-based interface. See "Logging in to the CMC Using
the Web-Based Interface" in your M1000e
Configuration Guide
.
2
Click
Chassis in the system tree
.
3
Click the
Update
tab. The
Updatable Components
page appears.
4
On the
Updatable Components
page, click the CMC name.
The
Firmware Update
page appears.
Information Update 13
5
In the
Va lu e
field, type the path on your management station or shared
network where the firmware image file resides, or click
Browse
to navigate
to the file location.
NOTE: The default CMC firmware image name is firmimg.cmc and the filename
should not be changed. Keep different firmware revisions separated as the file
name will always be the same.
6
Click
Update
. A dialog box appears asking you to confirm the action.
7
Click
Yes
to continue. The firmware transfer process will begin and the
status will display the message "Firmware Update in Progress." Once the
CMC update is complete, the CMC will be reset. Once the reset is
complete, you will need to refresh the
User Interface
page to log in again.
Updating the CMC Firmware Using RACADM
1
Open a CMC command line console and log in.

PowerEdge M905 and M805 Blades —
Memory Sparing Requirements
The following information updates the memory sparing subsections in your
Hardware Owner’s Manual and these blades’ system information labels.
PowerEdge M905
Memory sparing is supported if 24 identical memory modules (DIMMs)
are installed.
PowerEdge M805
Memory sparing is supported if 16 identical memory modules are installed.
14 Information Update
New Mezzanine Cards
Your blade now supports the following additional mezzanine cards:
•Intel
®
Gigabit ET Quad-Port Mezzanine Card. See "Configuration Matrix
for Quad-Port Mezzanine Card" on page 8 for the support matrix.
Broadcom NetXExtreme II 5709 Quad Port Ethernet Mezzanine Card
for M-Series Blades. See "Configuration Matrix for Quad-Port Mezzanine
Card" on page 8 for the support matrix.
Broadcom NetXtreme II 57711 Dual Port 10 Gb Ethernet Mezzanine Card
with TOE and iSCSI Offload for M-Series Blades
Broadcom 57710 10 Gb Ethernet card
Emulex LPe1205-M FC8 card
ConnectX MDI QDR
NOTE: CMC firmware version 1.3 is required to support FC8 mezzanine cards
and I/O modules.
NOTE: CMC firmware version 2.0 is required to support link tuning in mezzanine
cards.
For information on installing a mezzanine card, see "Installing System
Components" in your Hardware Owner’s Manual. For detailed information
on configuring a particular card, see the card’s documentation on
support.dell.com.
New I/O Modules
Your system now supports the following additional I/O modules:
Dell PowerConnect™ M8024 10 Gb Ethernet switch module
Mellanox M2401G DDR Infiniband switch module
Brocade M5424 FC8 switch module
Mellanox M3601Q QDR Infiniband switch module
NOTE: CMC firmware version 1.3 is required to support FC8 mezzanine cards
and I/O modules.
Information Update 15
These modules are hot-swappable, and may be installed in Fabric B
or Fabric C. Please note the following additional details:
The M8024 Ethernet switch module may also be installed in Fabric A,
but will only operate at 1 Gb in this Fabric.
Due the dual-wide nature of the M3601Q QDR switch and physical
constraints of the M1000e, this switch module when installed would span
both fabric B and C of the I/O module bank.
For general information on installing I/O modules, see "I/O Modules"
in your
Hardware Owner’s Manual
.
PowerConnect M8024 10 Gb Ethernet Switch I/O Module
The PowerConnect M8024 switch module incorporates two option bays
that support the following modules:
A 10 Gb Ethernet module with four optical SFP+ connectors
A 10 Gb Ethernet module with three copper CX4 uplinks
The modules can be used in any combination and are sold separately.
You can initially configure the switch using either of two methods:
Connect an external management system to the switch using an optional
USB type-A form factor serial cable, and configure the switch using a
terminal application.
Use the iKVM CMC console (“17th blade”) and the
connect switch-
n
CMC CLI command. For more information, see the CMC user’s guide.
Once an IP address is assigned to the management VLAN or interface and
the switch is connected to a management network, both Telnet and http are
available through the network.
