BMC Force Update Jumper Block
The BMC Force Update jumper is used to put the BMC in Boot Recovery mode for a low-level update. It
causes the BMC to abort its normal boot process and stay in the boot loader without executing any Linux
code.
This jumper should only be used if the BMC firmware has gotten corrupted and requires re-installation. The
following procedure should be followed:
Note
: System Update files are included in the System Update Packages (SUP) posted to Intel’s Download
http://downloadcenter.intel.com
1.
Turn off the system.
2.
Remove the AC power cords
Note
: If the BMC FRC UPD jumper is moved with AC power applied to the system, the BMC will not operate
properly.
3.
Remove the system top cover
4.
Move the “BMC FRC UPD” Jumper from pins 1 - 2 (default) to pins 2 - 3 (Force Update position)
5.
Re-install the system top cover and re-attach the AC power cords
6.
Power on the system
7.
Boot to the EFI shell
8.
Change directories to the folder containing the update files

6.2.5
BIOS Recovery Jumper
When the BIOS Recovery jumper block is moved from its default pin position (pins 1-2), the system will boot
using a backup BIOS image to the uEFI shell, where a standard BIOS update can be performed. See the BIOS
update instructions that are included with System Update Packages (SUP) downloaded from Intel’s
download center web site. This jumper is used when the system BIOS has become corrupted and is non-
functional, requiring a new BIOS image to be loaded on to the server board.
Note
: The BIOS Recovery jumper is ONLY used to re-install a BIOS image in the event the BIOS has become
corrupted. This jumper is NOT used when the BIOS is operating normally and you need to update the BIOS
from one version to another.
The following procedure should be followed.
