Information Update 3

PowerEdge™ M905 and M805 Blades –

Dell™ OpenManage™ Version Requirements

The PowerEdge M905 and M805 blades require OpenManage systems

management software version 5.4.3 or later.

NOTE: OpenManage version 5.4.3 does not support PowerEdge M600 or M605

blades.

PowerEdge M905 and M805 Blades –

CMC Firmware Requirements

PowerEdge M905 and M805 blades require CMC firmware version 1.2 or

later. If you add these blades to an M1000e enclosure with CMC firmware

older than version 1.2, the new blade 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.

4Information Update

Updating Firmware in a Redundant CMC Configuration

NOTICE: 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.

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.

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".

Verify that the secondary or standby CMC’s firmware is at the requested

level with the

getsysinfo

command or through the Web-based interface.

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".

Verify that the active or primary CMC firmware is at the requested level

using the

getsysinfo

command or through the Web-based interface.

Once both CMCs are updated to the same firmware revision, use the

cmcchangeover

command to reset the CMC in the left slot as primary.

Click

Yes

to continue. The firmware transfer process will begin and the

status will display the message "Firmware Update in Progress". Once the

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.

6Information Update

New Mezzanine Cards

Your blade now supports the following additional mezzanine cards:

• Broadcom 57710 10Gb Ethernet card

• Emulex LPe1205-M FC8 card

• QLogic QME2572 FC8 card

NOTE: CMC firmware version 1.3 is required to support FC8 mezzanine cards

and I/O modules.

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 I/O modules:

•

Dell PowerConnect™ M8024 10Gb Ethernet switch module

• Mellanox M2401G Infiniband switch module

•

Brocade M5424 FC8 module

NOTE: CMC firmware version 1.3 is required to support FC8 mezzanine cards

and I/O modules.

These modules are hot-pluggable, and may be installed in Fabric B or

Fabric C. (The M8024 Ethernet switch module may also be installed in

Fabric A, but will only operate at 1 Gb in this Fabric.) For general information

on installing I/O modules, see "I/O Modules" in your Hardware Owner’s

Manual.

Information Update 7

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-

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.
