 3 Server Blades: Setup and Installation

BIOS Updates

It may be necessary to update the BIOS used in the blade modules on 
occasion. However, it is recommended that you not update BIOS if you 
are not experiencing problems with a blade module.

There are several methods you may use to upgrade (flash) your BIOS. 
After downloading the appropriate BIOS file (in a zip file format), 
follow one of the methods described below to flash the new BIOS. 

Flashing BIOS

Use the procedures below to “Flash” your BIOS with a new update 
using the KVM dongle, USB ports on the CMM module or by use of a 
Floppy disk.

Flashing a BIOS using the KVM Dongle:

For this method, you must use a KVM cable (included with the system).
1. Copy the contents of the zip file to a bootable USB pen drive.

2. Connect the KVM cable to the KVM connector at the front of the 

blade you will be flashing the BIOS to.

3. Connect your bootable USB pen drive to one of the two USB slots 

on the KVM dongle.

4. Boot to the USB pen drive and go to the directory where you saved 

the contents of the zip file.

5. Type 

flash filename.rom

 (replace 

filename.rom

 by the actual ROM 

file name).

Flashing a BIOS using the USB Ports on the CMM:

1. Copy the contents of the zip file to a bootable USB pen drive.
2. Connect your bootable USB pen drive to one of the two USB slots 

on the CMM (located on the back side of the enclosure).

3. Boot to the USB pen drive and go to the directory where you saved 

the contents of the zip file.

4. Type 

flash filename.rom

 (replace 

filename.rom

 by the actual ROM 

file name).
