Serial label pull tab
The serial label pull tab contains important information about the server like the BMC
username and password.
To access the serial tab:
A. Pull the serial label tab from the chassis.

Operations 17
Operations
Power down the server
Before powering down the server for any upgrade or maintenance procedures, perform a
backup of critical server data and programs.
IMPORTANT:
When the server is in standby mode, auxiliary power is still being provided to
the system.
To power down the server, use one of the following methods:
•Press and release the Power On/Standby button.
This method initiates a controlled shutdown of applications and the OS before the server
enters standby mode.
•Press and hold the Power On/Standby button for more than 4 seconds to force the server
to enter standby mode.
This method forces the server to enter standby mode without properly exiting applications
and the OS. If an application stops responding, you can use this method to force a
shutdown.
•Use a virtual power button selection through BMC.
This method initiates a controlled remote shutdown of applications and the OS before the
server enters standby mode.
Before proceeding, verify that the server is in standby mode by observing that the system
power LED is amber.
Using Power Control function through BMC
The following options are available when using Power Control function through BMC:
•Power On—Similar to press and release of the Power On/Standby button
•Power Off—Similar to the press and hold of the Power On/Standby button more than 4
seconds.
•Power Cycle—Power off and then power on the server
•Hard Reset—A forced reboot that does not reach standby

Operations 18
Wistron BMC
BMC is a remote server management processor embedded on the system boards of
RB133G13-U10 servers. BMC enables the monitoring and controlling of servers from remote
locations. Wistron BMC management is a powerful tool that provides multiple ways to
configure, update, monitor, and repair servers remotely. BMC (Standard) comes preconfigured
on Wistron servers without an additional cost or license.
Using BMC
To log-in, you need to enter your username and password. You can find this information
printed in the serial label pull-tab (Link).
Firmware Information

Operations 19
To check the current firmware version that is installed in your server, from the BMC menu bar,
click Maintenance > Firmware Information.
The current firmware information will be displayed.
Firmware Update

Operations 20
To update the current firmware installed in your server, from the BMC menu bar, click
Maintenance > Firmware Update.
This wizard takes you through the process of updating the firmware. A reset of the server will
automatically follow if the upgrade is completed or cancelled. An option to Preserve All
Configuration is available. Enable it, if you wish to preserve configured settings through the
upgrade.
WARNING: After entering update mode widgets, other web pages and services will not work.
All open widgets will be closed automatically. If upgrade process is cancelled in the middle of
the wizard, the device will be reset.
AVERTISSEMENT:Une fois dans les widgets en mode de mise à jour, les autres pages Web
et services ne fonctionneront pas. Tous les widgets ouverts seront fermés automatiquement.
Si le processus de mise à niveau est annulé au milieu des procédures de l'assistant, le
périphérique sera réinitialisé.
NOTE:The firmware upgrade process is a crucial operation. Make sure that the chances of
a power or connectivity loss are minimal when performing this operation.
Once you enter into Update Mode and choose to cancel the firmware flash operation, the
BMC must be reset. This means that you must close the Internet browser and log back onto
the BMC before you can perform any other types of operations.
Once Firmware upgrade using web is started, the regular IPMI command will not be allowed
for safety concern if Enable IPMI Command handling during flashing support is disabled in
project configuration.
