Updating the BIOS and Cisco IMC Firmware
Caution
When you upgrade the BIOS firmware, you must also upgrade the Cisco IMC firmware to the same
version or the server does not boot. Do not power on the server until the BIOS and Cisco IMC firmware
match or the server does not boot.
The server uses firmware that is obtained from and certified by Cisco. Cisco provides release notes with
each firmware image. There are several methods for updating the firmware:
•
Recommended method—Use the Cisco Host Upgrade Utility to simultaneously upgrade the Cisco
IMC, BIOS, and other component firmware to compatible levels.
See the
Cisco Host Upgrade Utility Quick Reference Guide
for your firmware level at the
documentation roadmap link below.
•
You can upgrade the BIOS using the EFI interface, or upgrade from a Windows or Linux platform.
See the
Cisco UCS C-Series Rack-Mount Server BIOS Upgrade Guide
.
•
You can upgrade the Cisco IMC and BIOS firmware by using the Cisco IMC GUI interface.
See the
Cisco UCS C-Series Rack-Mount Server Configuration Guide.
•
You can upgrade the Cisco IMC and BIOS firmware by using the Cisco IMC CLI interface.
