Failure to update using the proper procedure may cause damage to your system. 1.User can update BIOS flash image via either one of the follow methods... 1.) Copy the entire contents of the Package file to the HDD or USB flash drive (All of the files must reside in the same directory) 2.) Boot to UEFI Shell, then change the Shell to the mapped device file system Example: Shell> fs0: (or fs1:) 3.) Run updALL.nsh for BIOS, ME and FD region upgrades updBIOS.nsh, updME.nsh and updFD.nsh for each region upgrade respectively updFRUSDR.nsh to update the FRUSDR only Startup.nsh for BIOS (ME and FD included), BMC, and FRUSDR all-together 4.) Reboot system after the update is completed 5.) Do *NOT* interrupt the BIOS POST during the first boot 2.BIOS update under recovery mode as below methods The USB media is necessary for primary BIOS upgrade and must contain the following files under the root directory, you can capture all the ingredients from BIOS release package: Copy the entire contents of the Package file to the HDD or USB flash drive (All of the files must reside in the same directory) A: USB media inserted AFTER performing a recovery boot 1.) Under Shell, type "map -r" to map all Drives/USB devices 2.) Change the Shell to the mapped USB device Example: Shell> fs0: (or fs1:) 3.) Execute the Startup.nsh scripts, wait for the update to complete 4.) Power OFF the system, and revert the recovery jumper position back to "normal operation" 5.) Power ON the system 6.) Do *NOT* interrupt the BIOS POST during the first boot B: USB media inserted PRIOR performing a recovery boot 1.) Power ON the system, it will boot automatically into EFI Shell to invoke the Startup.nsh script 2.) After the update is completed, there will be a message displayed that the "ME Firmware and BIOS updates have completed" indicating the recovery process is finished. Then Power OFF the system, switch the recovery jumper back to normal operation, and finally, Power ON the system 3.) Do *NOT* interrupt the BIOS POST during the first boot Notes: If to update backup BIOS region, you need to customize the iflash32 update scripts and add "UpdateBackupBios" parameter Notes: Setup variable structure has been changed in E5-2600V4 BIOS. If downgrading E5-2600V4 BIOS to lower versions or E5-2600V3 BIOS, please add 'UpdateNvram' parameter in BIOS Recovery Mode. Note: Removed 'UpdateNvram' support for iflash32 tool for security reason. Note: If User customizes ITK capsule and BIOS admin password is set, BIOS SMI handler requires extra parameter of "password" in iFlash32 mail box: e.g. iFlash32.efi -u Bios.cap Password=intel@123 -ni, no requirement when BIOS admin password is not set or standard BIOS release capsule is used. ================================================================================ BIOS RECOVERY INSTRUCTIONS ================================================================================ The Recovery process can be initiated by setting the recovery jumper (called BIOS Recovery Boot Jumper) A BIOS recovery can be accomplished from the backup BIOS region. BIOS starts the recovery process by first loading and booting to the recovery image from backup BIOS region. This process takes place before any video or console is available. Once the system boots to recovery image. The following steps demonstrate this recovery process: 1. Power OFF the system 2. Switch the recovery jumper. Details regarding the jumper ID and location can be obtained from the Server Board TPS for that Platform 3. Power ON the system 4. The BIOS POST screen will appear displaying the progress and the system will automatically boot to the EFI SHELL 5. Follow the BIOS recovery update manual for BIOS recovery. ================================================================================ ME FW Capsule INSTALLATION NOTES ================================================================================ WARNING: It is very important to follow these instructions as they are written. Failure to update using the proper procedure may cause damage to your system. !!!!! Please make sure AC Power is plugged in during the update !!!!! !!!!! AC Power failure during the update may, unrecoverably, damage your system !!!!! User can update ME image via either of the follow methods: 1.) Copy the entire contents of the Package file to the HDD or USB flash drive (All of the files must reside in the same directory) 2.) Boot to UEFI Shell, then change the Shell to mapped device file system Example: Shell> fs0: (or fs1:) 3.) Use updME.nsh and updFD.nsh for ME and FD FW upgrade 4.) Reboot system after the update is completed ================================================================================ IMPORTANT NOTICE ================================================================================ 1. The BIOS R01.01.0002 auto scripts will force to update both normal and backup BIOS region since security revision was updated, once user upgrade BIOS to R01.01.0002, it will prevent BIOS downgrade to previous version that with low security revision, user can use BIOS recovery mode for BIOS downgrade 2. The BIOS R01.01.0003 included security fix and security revision upgrade, refer to item #1 3. If doing online BIOS update to R01.01.0003, user must use the auto scripts enabled in the release package which will force update BIOS NVRAM and backup region 4. BIOS R01.01.0004 requires update of NVRAM and backup region 5. BIOS R01.01.0009 and D0019 will enable UEFI Secure Boot and include below limitations: - Please read "BIOS UEFI SECURE BOOT IMPACT AND MITIGATION METHOD" section in this BIOS release notes - All customer settings saved in BIOS NVRAM will be lost after new BIOS upgrade. - BIOS downgrade is not allowed if user has enabled BIOS secure boot. All customer setting will be lost also if downgrade to previous BIOS release. - Backup BIOS region is also required to be updated to prevent recovery failure please use release package to update BIOS. - There is downgrade hang risk if you don't follow above rules. - Further BIOS release will not suffer from these side effects as the NVRAM region is formatted as authenticated variable storage 6. System will hang 0xbf after downgrading BIOS from D0055(E5-2600V4 code tree) to R0011/R0009(E5-2600V3 code tree) randomly. -Set SUT to recovery mode to power on, then set it back to normal boot to see whether it is recovered. 7. BIOS D0070 The iFlash32 utility parameter of 'UpdateNvram' is not supported under Normal Mode, however it is only supported under Recovery Mode. 8. BIOS D0076 Design change from D076 for to change default setting from to <10>. Need to press to see the new default string. 9. BIOS D0094 Suggest to press 'F9' to load default if using the 'IOU Non-posted prefetch control' setup options in the first time. ================================================================================ BIOS UEFI SECURE BOOT IMPACT AND MITIGATION METHOD ================================================================================= 1. Customer Setting Loss Issue and Mitigation Method When user upgrades BIOS with secure boot feature, the NVRAM will be automatically formatted as authenticated variable physical storage. However, all previous customer settings storage in NVRAM will be lost even if user does not enable UEFI secure boot feature. Users can take the follow recipe to save and restore their settings based on the actual NVRAM usage if they wish to upgrade or downgrade between BIOS with or without secure boot feature. Supposing customer requires to save & restore their specific NVRAM named 'var': Steps: 1. Prepare FAT partition USB key (or HDD). 2. Boot to EFI shell. 3. Check the file system mapping (e.g. fs0:) of the USB key with 'map -r' command. 4. Use 'dmpstore var -s fs0:\var.bin' to save the variable to the physical file. 5. Perform BIOS update and reboot system. 6. Boot to EFI shell. 7. Use 'dmpstore var -l fs0:\var.bin' to restore the variable. 8. Reboot the system if the customer setting requires reboot to take effect. Notes: 1. Immediate reboot after BIOS update is mandatory. Or the restore operation will not take effect. 2. Customers can repeat step 4 and step 7 for several times if they need to save & restore multiple NVRAM variables. 3. Most of BIOS customer settings by SysCfg can also be restored in this way. Customers can follow previous step1~8 by substituting 'Setup' for 'var' in the sample. 4. For BIOS downgrade case, step7 cannot be used to restore authenticate variables (e.g. PK, KEK, DB, DBX) to non-authenticated NVRAM storage 2. Recovery Mode Failure There is known bug that it cannot POST successfully with authenticated NVRAM storage. This will cause platform recovery failure and permanent deny of service (PDOS) if the primary BIOS region gets corrupted for some reason. It is required to update backup BIOS region when upgrade BIOS capsule with secure boot feature. Notes: For downgrade case, user is not required to update backup BIOS region as new BIOS with secure boot feature can handle NVRAM with old storage format: it will format it to new authenticated variable storage automatically. However, care must be taken when downgrading BIOS in recovery mode: After flashing BIOS without secure boot feature, user should restore recovery HW jumper immediately before platform reset.If platforms reset occurs before restoring recovery HW jumper, the backup BIOS will once again format NVRAM to new storage format, which will cause newly flashed BIOS (without secure boot feature) POST failure after user restores recovery HW jumper. ================================================================================ FEATURES ADDED/REMOVED ================================================================================ ================================================================================ R01.01.0003 (Production Release) ================================================================================ ================================================================================ R01.01.0004 (D633) ================================================================================ EPSD100026893 i350(Powerville) IOM OpROM doesn't load during post EPSD100244275 Cannot enable TXT and receive BIOS POST Code 0xA100 EPSD100244186 Power Restore Delay Value minimum not long enough for BMC boot time EPSD100244174 Security vulnerability on SMI GetVariable interface was captured by SeCOE ================================================================================ R01.01.0004 ================================================================================ EPSD100026935 The Default Value Of SOL And Console Redirection EPSD100244254 Pre-Release 40G IOmodule fails the link margin test with concurrent traffic on slot2 IOM riser+carrier.
