Updating BX600 System Components
Ê
Update the firmware of the server blade (BIOS and BMC).
You have two options for doing this:
1. In the management console (Telnet) select the
TFTP Update
submenu.
The update process is similar to the process via the management blade
web user interface (see below).
2. In the web interface of the management blade, select the menu
System Property–Environ./Maintenance–Firmware Update–Server Blade BMC
or
System Property–Environ./Maintenance–Firmware Update–Server Blade BIOS
I
For security reasons the BIOS and BMC firmware can only be
updated if the relevant server blade was shut down beforehand,
otherwise the update option is not offered in the web menu.
