Safety and security benefits
When you flash the system ROM, the flashing mechanism writes over the backup ROM and saves the current
ROM as a backup, enabling you to switch easily to the alternate ROM version if the new ROM becomes
corrupted for any reason. This feature protects the existing ROM version, even if you experience a power
failure while flashing the ROM.

Updating firmware or System ROM
Multiple methods exist to update the firmware or System ROM:
• Service Pack for ProLiant

• Firmware Update application in the UEFI System
• Online Flash components
Product entitlement is required to perform updates.
FWUPDATE utility
The FWUPDATE utility enables you to upgrade the system firmware (BIOS).
To use the utility to upgrade the firmware:
1. Download the FWUPDATE flash component from the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Support Center
website .
2. Save the FWUPDATE flash components to a USB key.
3. Set the boot order so that the USB key will boot first using one of the following options:
• Configure the boot order so that the USB key is the first bootable device.
• Press the
F11 key (Boot Menu) when prompted during system boot to access the One-Time Boot
Menu . This menu allows you to select the boot device for a specific boot and does not modify the boot
order configuration settings.
4. Insert the USB key into an available USB port.
5. Boot the system.
The FWUPDATE utility checks the system and provides a choice (if more than one exists) of available
firmware revisions.
To download the flash components, see the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Support Center website .
