Switching jumpers is not required to properly update the server board, however any jumpers not set to default may cause unknown behaviors during the update process. ** Booting to the embedded EFI operating environment** - Plug in your USB device containing the system software updates - Power on your server - During POST, hit the F2 key when prompted to access the BIOS Setup Utility - Alternatively F6 can be pressed to go directly to the BOOT MANAGER - In BIOS Setup, move the cursor over to the BOOT MANAGER menu - Move the cursor down to EFI and hit enter. - The system will boot to the embedded EFI Shell - Once the system has booted, and is sitting at a EFI Shell prompt, type 'FS0:' to access the USB device. If your USB device is not accessible, type the 'MAP -r' command to determine which device ID EFI has assigned your USB device, then type in the device ID using the same command syntax as before ':'. - Follow the instructions below to perform each software update. Update the system software in the sequence specified. Failure to update in the proper order may result in the system hanging or restarting on boot. *** Update BMC Firmware *** IMPORTANT BMC UPDATE NOTES: -If an RMM3 is installed in the system, it must be updated along with the BMC. DO NOT update the RMM3 independent of the BMC. The BMC may be updated alone if an RMM3 is not present. BMC_40 UPDATE INSTRUCTIONS: 1) Confirm that the BMC Force Update Jumper is in the default location (pins 1-2) 2) Boot the system to EFI and navigate update directory 3) Verify that the following files are present: BMC38.NSH; BMC_0040.ima; FWPIAUPD.EFI; IPMI.EFI; 4) run the BMC40.nsh script file by typing 'BMC40' 5) If an RMM3 is installed, the RMM3 will be updated automatically. The BMC update is complete. Either reboot the server or go to the BIOS Update described below. *** Update System BIOS *** 1) Verify that the R0038.CAP, IFLASH32.EFI and BIOS38.NSH files are present in the directory 2) At the shell prompt type BIOS38 and press the Enter key The BIOS update is complete.
