UCS B200 M4 Board Controller Activation failed

[superbanano]

Hi, 

I have problem that, i have cisco UCS mini on 3.0(2d) UCSM firmware, we ordered new cisco b200 m4 servers, and after i installed, i get the following error message: Activation failed and Activation Status set to failed. I checked the oders board controller firmwares are 9.0 the new ones 10.0. What can i do, activate with force from CLI?

Thanks,
Sandor
