CMC on M1000e reporting incorrect server information
I've procured some M610 servers from ebay. No errors, and all hardware works fine. However, the CMC (v4.45) and iDRAC (v3.5) reports one of the servers has 2 processors, 24GB of RAM, and no C fabric Mezzanine board. However, the server has a single processor, 4GB RAM, and a 10GB Broadcom 57711 Mezzanine card. The other server reports all correct info.
I have logged into the racadm and run racadmresetcfg multiple times. I've updated all firmware I can get my hands on.
Again, all hardware works as required. I can Boot iSCSI on the 10GB Broadcom cards, I can install the OK and verify that the hardware is all intact, but the CMC is reporting incorrect inventory.
Server 4 is the one reporting the correct info. Server 5 is the one reporting incorrect info. Here is the version info from the CMC racadm getversion command.

After adding or removing new hardware, system inventory page may not
update the changes automatically. This is because, inventory data collected
during manufacturing process may not be updated with new changes.
Workaround: Select "Cntl+E" during BIOS POST and enable
"Collect System Inventory on reboot". Save and exit from
"Cntl+E" option, then reboot the system to collect new system inventory.
After the Inventory is collected, the GUI “System Inventory”
page displays correct Hardware and software inventory data.

Was there a server in that slot previously that had the specs that it is incorrectly reporting? Try running racadm hwinventory
Does the chassis have redundant CMCs? Does it report incorrectly i the web GUI as well?
