Server Blade BIOS/BMC

Updating BX300 Components

5.4.1.2

Using TFTP

Proceed as follows:

Install and run your TFTP server software.

Download the TFTP update package

BX300_TFTP-IMAGES_<version>.exe

from the Fujitsu Siemens Download Server

http://download.fujitsu-

siemens.com

Extract the desired BIOS and/or BMC firmware files to the TFTP file system
root directory. For information on image file names see the readme file of the
TFTP update package.

Check the LAN connection by pinging the desired server blade.

Update the server blade firmware (BIOS and BMC).

There are two ways of doing so:

1. In the management console (Telnet) choose the

TFTP Update

submenu.

The update process takes place similarly to the process via management
blade WebUI (see below).

2. In the management blade

WebUI

choose:

System Property–Environ./Maintenance–Firmware Update–Server Blade BMC

System Property–Environ./Maintenance–Firmware Update–Server Blade BIOS

Due to security precautions updating the BIOS and BMC via

WebUI

is only possible if the desired server blade has been shut

down before. Otherwise the update option won’t be offered in the

WebUI

menu.
