Booting is impossible with "The system is being default configured."

[Jack-K]

Hi, everyone.

I get xl170R Gen9 servers.

Just one server has problem to boot with "The system is being default configured..." message.

Rebooting 3~4 times with the message, then the server is power-offed.
And Power-On again manually, repeat is again,, again...

I tried to fix this problem resetting NVRAM(Switch 5) and backup rom(Switch 1, 5, 6). But the problem is still.

Please, let me know solution.

When you on dip no 6 same error or different?

Running switch 6 on "Off" is no problem.
Message is "....Power off the server and toggle the maintenance switch to the Off position".

Boot after switch 6 is changed "Off", problem is occured.

Hi,Jack-K

I am an engineer from China H3C.

Recently, I was lucky to read this article when users applied for maintenance.

Today, this problem has been solved.

I replaced the SPI board, which integrates the array card, BIOS configuration and ILO chip.

I think you can try to replace the CMOS battery.

Maybe the CMOS battery is dead. If the fault persists, it is recommended to replace the motherboard assembly.

I'm not always online. You can contact me by email
