Resetting the CIMC for a Blade Server
On rare occasions, such as an issue with the current running firmware, troubleshooting a server may require
you to reset the CIMC. This procedure is not part of the normal maintenance of a server. After you reset the
CIMC, the server boots with the running version of the firmware for that server.
If the CIMC is reset, the power monitoring functions of Cisco UCS become briefly unavailable for as long
as it takes for the CIMC to reboot. While this usually only takes 20 seconds, there is a possibility that the peak
power cap could be exceeded during that time. To avoid exceeding the configured power cap in a very low
power-capped environment, consider staggering the rebooting or activation of CIMCs.

Recovering the Corrupt BIOS on a Blade Server
On rare occasions, an issue with a server may require you to recover the corrupted BIOS. This procedure is
not part of the normal maintenance of a server. After you recover the BIOS, the server boots with the running
version of the firmware for that server. This radio button may be dimmed if the BIOS does not require recovery
or the option is not available for a particular server.
