    If the replacement service processor card detects that the SP firmware is not compatible with the existing host firmware, further action is suspended, and the following message is delivered over the SER MGT port.

    Unrecognized Chassis: This module is installed in an unknown or
    unsupported chassis. You must upgrade the firmware to a newer
    version that supports this chassis.

    If you see this message, go on to Step 7. If you do not see this message, go to Step 8.

  7. Download the system firmware.
    1. Configure the network port on the service processor card to enable the firmware image to be downloaded.

      For instructions, refer to the Oracle ILOM documentation.

      Note -  You can load any supported system firmware version, including the firmware revision that had been installed prior to the replacement of the service processor card.
  8. Restore the SP configuration information.

    -> load -source uri target

    where:

    • The acceptable values for uri are tftp, ftp, sftp, scp, http, and https.
