Special considerations for network module updates
The EL8000t chassis hosts two network modules. The module on the left is the default, and provides both networking and
management for the chassis. Any firmware updates to the network modules performed from iLO, or from a Smart
Component update performed from an installed operating system, are automatically applied to the default network
module only. No firmware updates can be applied to the right-side module. The right-side module only provides 1G
internal port connections and iLO connectivity to the e910t server blades in the chassis and will not require firmware
updates.
Viewing installed firmware information
Procedure
1. Click Firmware & OS Software in the navigation tree.
The
Installed Firmware page displays firmware information for various server components. If the server is powered
off, the information on this page is current as of the last power off. Firmware information is updated only when the
server is powered on and POST is complete.
2. (Optional) To sort by a table column, click the column heading.
To change the sort order to ascending or descending, click the column heading again or click the arrow icon next to
the column heading.
Firmware types
The firmware types listed on the
Installed Firmware page vary based on the server model and configuration.
For most servers, the system ROM and iLO firmware are listed. Other possible firmware options include the following:
• Power Management Controller
• Server Platform Services Firmware
• Smart Array
• Intelligent Platform Abstraction Data
