This document describes a problem that is encountered with some of the new Cisco Generation 2 Prime Infrastructure Appliance units and provides a workaround for the problem in order to avoid the need for a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA).
Some of the new Generation 2 Prime Infrastructure Appliance units (Cisco part number PI-UCS-APL-K9 or PI-UCS-APL-K9=) might report a moderate fault and/or display an illuminated amber LED when powered up for the first time.
This issue involves two onboard flash cards, called Cisco FlexFlash, that are used in order to hold small images (less than 32 GB) for bootups in certain configurations.

Complete these steps in order to use the Cisco Integrated Management Controller (CIMC) for verification and rectification of this situation:
