Updating the Firmware (BIOS and BMC)
All the files required for updating the server blade components are available
from
http://download.ts.fujitsu.com
.
You can update both the firmware of the server blade BIOS and the firmware of
the server blade BMC.
I
BMC stands for Baseboard Management Controller. The BMC on the
server blade collects management information and sends it to the
management blade.
There are three possible ways of updating the firmware of the server blade
BIOS and the server blade BMC:
–
Updating the firmware of the server blade with TFTP.
For detailed information see the operating manual for your basic unit.
–
Updating the firmware of the server blade with GlobalFlash.
For detailed information see the GlobalFlash manual.
–
Updating the firmware of the server blade from a USB stick.
To update the firmware of the BX630 S2 Server Blade from a USB stick,
proceed as follows:
Ê
Create a bootable USB stick using the selfextracting USB stick image you
downloaded from
http://download.ts.fujitsu.com
.
Ê
Connect the breakout cable to the relevant server blade. Connect the USB
stick to the other end of the breakout cable.
Ê
Switch on the server blade or restart it. The firmware update is performed
automatically.
I
You may have to change the order of the boot devices in the BIOS to
enable booting from the USB stick. For further information see the
section
“Boot menu” on page 71
chapter
BIOS Setup
and the
operating manual for
ServerView Installation Manager
.
