BMC Firmware Update Utility
The BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) firmware update utility is a DOS-based program used to update
the BMC firmware code. This utility should only be run if new firmware code is necessary.
BMC Firmware Update Procedure
Before proceeding, read the BMC firmware release notes to determine which update utility version is appropriate
for the new firmware version.
1. Copy the BMC firmware update utility upfw.exe and BMC firmware image file
S87vxxx.bin
to a boot-
able DOS diskette. Where xxx means BMC firmware version.
2. Shutdown the server and insert this diskette, then power on the server and boot to the diskette.
3. At the DOS prompt (e.g. A:\>), type
upfw S87vxxx.BIN
(not case sensitive) and press the ENTER key.
4. upfw.exe displays a message during the flash in progress.
5. Wait for the flash to complete and make sure no error or failure message appears.
6. Power off the server and remove the diskette, then power on.
