Recovering from a Lenovo ThinkServer Server Firmware update failure
If power to the server is interrupted while you are updating the Lenovo ThinkServer
Server Firmware, the server might not restart correctly or might not display video. If
this happens, complete the following steps to recover:
1. Read the safety information that begins on page 5.
2. Turn off the server and all attached devices; then, disconnect all power cords
and external cables.
3. Unlock and remove the side cover (see “Removing the left-side cover” on page
157).
4. Locate JP6 on the system board and remove any adapters that impede access
to the jumpers.
