Individual updates
This section gives procedures for performing individual updates of the
BIOS, BMC or HSC firmware, and FRU/SDR data.
BIOS updates
The IFLASH utility is a DOS-based utility used to install BIOS updates.
IFLASH.EXE is included with the BIOS update file.
To update the BIOS:
1
Download the software update along with any ReadMe, Release
Notes, and other files listed on the Web page for the update.
2
Print and read the ReadMe, Release Notes, and any other text or
document files that came with the update. The files from the Web
page contain the latest information and instructions for the
update, which supersedes the information in this User’s guide.
3
Record the current BIOS settings.
a
Boot the server and press
F2
when you are prompted to
do so.
b
Write down the current settings in the BIOS setup program.
4
Follow the installation instructions that came with the update.
5
When the update is complete, use BIOS setup to reconfigure any
custom settings.
For more information on the BIOS setup, refer to page 113.
Recovering the BIOS
In the rare event that the BIOS update fails and the BIOS is corrupted,
you will need to recover the BIOS. The Release Notes or other
documentation that you downloaded with the BIOS update explain
the steps for recovering the BIOS. The procedure requires you to install
one or more jumpers temporarily. For the location of the jumpers and
help in identifying the correct jumper pins, see “Mainboard jumpers”
on page 15.
