HP Proliant ML150G6 BMC 601 error

[alexmeteenhp]

Hello All,

 

As the title suggest I have a BMC 601 error on my HP Proliant ML150G6, and I've been unable to fix it thus far.

A post suggested that I need to flash the lights out software to fix this, but I can't find anywhere to download this or how to flash it. I've inserted an ethernet jack in both the ports and I read somewhere I should set the IP to static in my bios > advanced > ipmi, but all ip related options there are greyed out.

 

I have installed an E5540 with 2x4GB and a 250GB harddisk with Windows Server 2008 R2.

 

I hope I haven't left out anything but feel free to ask otherwise.

is the error actually posing any sort of functionality issue, or is it just *saying theres an error*

 

because if its not a functional problem.. with a G6.. i wouldnt bother.

Yes the fans are running at a much higher speed, I can't use the PS2 port, have to press F1 a couple of times during boot and a channel of ram slots don't work anymore but I don't know if that's related.

Otherwise I can still use it.

Flashing the firmware won't solve physical hardware problems, but is a good idea either way. This topic seems helpful:
