Firmware Update

This section enables you to perform update operations on System Firmware, BP Firmware, and PSU Firmware.

To open the Firmware Update page, click Maintenance > Firmware Update.

The following describes how to update the BMC firmware by using the HPM firmware update method. For BP firmware update and PSU firmware update, follow the steps indicated by the upgrade wizard.
Note

  • System firmware update includes UEFI, LXPM, and BMC firmware update.

  • HPM firmware update indicates BMC firmware update using an image in .hpm format.

  • Due to the need for coordination between BMC and UEFI for many functions, use a combination of BMC and UEFI versions with similar release dates if you want to use functions which need coordination between BMC and UEFI.

Updating the BMC firmware

  1. Click Choose File to select the required firmware image.
    Note

    While creating an HPM image with multiple components, BOOT and APP components should be placed at the end of the configuration file.

  2. Click Start firmware update to load the firmware update information.
    Note

    All configuration items will be preserved by default during the restore configuration operation.

  3. Click Proceed to update the firmware for all of the components.
    Note

    After entering the update mode, the widgets, other Web pages and services will not work. All the open widgets will be automatically closed. If the upgrade is cancelled in the middle of the wizard, the device will be reset.

  4. The firmware update undergoes the below steps:

    • Uploading the firmware image

    • Flashing the image

    • Resetting the image

    Note

    • You will not be able to perform any other tasks until firmware upgrade is completed and the device is rebooted. You can now follow the instructions presented in the subsequent pages to successfully update the system firmware. The device will be reset if update is canceled. The device will also be reset upon successful completion of firmware update.

    • In case of a BMC downgrade, a message may be displayed to indicate that no user settings will be retained, depending on the target version for the downgrade.
