3-6Hard Disk Drive Installation
Up to two SSD or two SAS3/SATA3 Spindle HDD 2.5" SAS3/SATA3 (6 Gbps) HDD/SSD
disk drives (two HDD/SSD and two SSD) can be installed in the MicroBlade module,
and cannot be removed or replaced without powering down the blade unit they reside in.
A blade module needs a hard disk drive with an operating system installed to operate.
RAID 0, 1 and 10 are supported.
3-7Installing the Operating System
An operating system (OS) must be installed on each MicroBlade module. Blades with
Microsoft Windows OS and blades with Linux OS can both occupy and operate within
the same blade enclosure. Refer to the SuperMicro web site for a complete list of
supported operating systems.
There are several methods of installing an OS to the blade modules.
Installing via PXE Boot
PXE (Preboot Execution Environment) is used to boot a computer over a network. To
install the OS via PXE, the following conditions must be met:
1. The PXE B
2. A PXE server has been configured (this can be another blade in the system).
3. The PXE server must be connected over a network to the blade to be booted.
4. The blade has only non-partitioned/unformatted hard drives installed and no
bootable devices attached to it.
Once these conditions are met, make sure the PXE server is running. Then turn on the
blade on which you wish to boot and/or install the OS. The BIOS in the blade will look at
all bootable devices and finding none will connect to the PXE server to begin the boot/
install.
OOT option in BIOS must be enabled.
Installing via Virtual Media (Drive Redirection)
You can install the OS via Virtual Media through either the IPMIview (Java based client
utility), IPMItool or the Web-based Management Utility. With this method, the OS is
installed from an ISO image that resides on another system/blade.

BIOS
5-1Introduction
This chapter describes the BIOS for the MBI-6119G-C2 MicroBlade module. This
MicroBlade module uses a 128 Mb SPI Flash EEPROM with AMI® BIOS™ that is
stored in a flash chip. This BIOS can be easily upgraded using a floppy disk-based
program.
Note: Due to periodic changes to the BIOS, some settings may have been added or
deleted and might not yet be recorded in this manual. Please refer to the http://
www.supermicro.com/products/microblade/module/ web site for further details on BIOS
setup and the BIOS menus for your MicroBlade module.
System BIOS
BIOS stands for Basic Input Output System. The 128 Mb SPI Flash EEPROM with
AMI® BIOS BIOS flash chip stores the system parameters, types of disk drives, video
displays, in the CMOS. The CMOS memory requires very little electrical power. When
the blade unit is turned off, a backup battery provides power to the BIOS flash chip,
enabling it to retain system parameters. Each time the blade is powered on it is
configured with the values stored in the BIOS ROM by the system BIOS, which gains
control at boot up.
How To Change the Configuration Data
The CMOS information that determines the system parameters may be changed by
entering the BIOS Setup utility. This Setup utility can be accessed by pressing the
<D
ELETE> key at the appropriate time during system boot. (See "Starting the Setup
Utility" below.)
Starting the Setup Utility
Normally, the only visible POST (Power-On Self-Test) routine is the memory test. As the
memory is being tested, press the <D
Setup utility. From the main menu, you can access the other setup screens, such as the
Security and Power menus.
Caution: To prevent possible boot failure, do not shut down or reset the system while
updating the BIOS.

Appendix A
AMI UEFI BIOS POST Codes
A status code is a data value used to indicate progress during the boot phase. A subset
of these status codes, known commonly as checkpoints, indicate common phases of the
BIOS boot process.
Checkpoints are typically output to I/O port 80h, but Aptio 4.x core can be configured to
send status codes to a variety of sources. Aptio 4.x core outputs checkpoints throughout
the boot process to indicate the task the system is currently executing. Checkpoints are
very useful in aiding software developers or technicians in debugging problems that
occur during the pre-boot process.
