Blink board or blink lite update#
The root cause of the problem is an incompatibility between the LED identify function and the Ethernet port swap feature that is implemented on these servers.Ī future UEFI update will correct this incompatibility allowing the LED identify function to work properly. The user can look at the MAC address labels on the system system board to determine the association between the MAC address and the physical port. The file will be available from the IBM System x Support web site at the following URL: The target date for this release is scheduled for third quarter 2009. This behavior will be corrected in a future release of UEFI software. The initial V1.0 GA release version and all previous The following system BIOS level(s) are affected: SPECS: Range: 5mi Deck Length: 27.5in Max Speed: 9mph Product Weight: 7. The Lite will be able to satisfy recreational boarding purposes while also acting as an alternative method for getting to your destination, all in 7.7 pounds. The system may be any of the following IBM servers: The BLINK Lite is the ideal board for cruising, from coasting down boardwalks to quick rides to the corner store. The LEDs function properly for all other operations.

The purpose of this function is to help the user associate the MAC address to a physical ethernet port on the server. If the user clicks on the blink function it has no effect on the operation of the LEDs.

This identify / blink Light Emitting Diode (LED) function associated with the Ethernet Media Access Control (MAC) address entry in the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) configuration menu does not work for the on-board Ethernet devices in these servers.
