HSBP FW: 01.12 SecurityRev Root: 01.17 WWW: 01.08 uboot: 01.06 FWPIAUPD Utility: V14.0 Build 8 #MD5 checksum of BMC_i_r10481.bin 2DA90B9383ED795138AA1EEEDE6EA79B ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A "Pong" version of the firmware image can be made available on request. =============================================================================== IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTES =============================================================================== The following update process must be followed to ensure a trouble free updating of your baseboard. The order is important to minimize any issues for status checking as different components are initialized. 1. BMC firmware 2. BIOS/Manageability Engine (ME) firmware (as directed in BIOS Release Notes) 3. FRU/SDR package specific to the baseboard. 4. NIC EEPROM =============================================================================== INSTALLATION PROCEDURE =============================================================================== - NOTE: None 1. Copy the entire contents of the archive file to the storage medium of your choice. This can be a hard disk, floppy disk or USB flash drive. All of the files in the zip archive must reside in the same directory. 2. Boot to EFI and then run the fwUpdateBMC.nsh script file to update the Integrated BMC. Modification of the update script or using fwpiaupd.efi with your own command line parameters is not supported and doing so is at your own risk! 3. Install latest available FRU/SDR package specific to the platform. =============================================================================== FIRMWARE RECOVERY PROCEDURE =============================================================================== The Recovery process can be initiated by setting the recovery jumper (called BMC Force Update Jumper) to the recovery position. The jumper is normally in the normal/de-asserted position. The system must be completely powered off (A/C power removed) before the jumper is moved. After power is re-applied and the firmware update is complete, the system must be powered off again and the jumper must be returned to the de-asserted position before normal operation can begin. A BMC recovery can be accomplished from a USB flash drive. 1. Copy the entire contents of the BMC_i_0006r7790.zip archive file to the storage USB flash drive. All of the files in the zip archive must reside in the same directory. 2. Remove A/C power from the system and wait 30 seconds. 3. Move the BMC Force Update Jumper to the recovery position. Details regarding the jumper ID and location can be obtained from the Board EPS for that Platform. 4. Insert the USB flash drive. 5. Reapply A/C power to the system and power on the system. 6. The BIOS POST screen will appear displaying the progress press F6 to select boot options. At the boot option menu select to boot to the EFI SHELL. 7. Switch to the directory where you stored the update files and then run the fwUpdateBMC.nsh script file to update the Integrated BMC. Modification of the update script with your own command line parameters is not supported and doing so is at your own risk! 8. Remove A/C power from the system and wait 30 seconds. 9. Move the BMC Force Update Jumper to the normal position. 10. Reapply A/C power to the system and power on the system. NOTE: Performing this recovery procedure resets all network and user settings to defaults. The FRUSDR will also need to be reloaded after a recovery (SDR update). =============================================================================== FIRMWARE UPGRADE/DOWNGRADE PROCEDURES =============================================================================== Upgrade of BMC FW from version BMC_i_0004r7652 to later versions will be documented in the release notes for those versions. Reverting to a lower version of firmware may have unexpected side effects, including but not limited to user settings reset to defaults, and will always result in the loss of functionality which was present in the higher version but was not implemented in the lower version. We do not guarantee that any downgrade will operate without side-effects. Always observe caution when downgrading firmware. =============================================================================== KNOWN ISSUES/WORKAROUNDS/REQUIREMENTS =============================================================================== - This BMC FW update package is to be used only on EPSD server baseboards and does NOT support customer reference boards (CRB) or silicon reference platforms (SRP) such as Rose City. Contact your PDT to determine where to download the BMC FW for these products. - The BMC FW image file in this package is to be used only with the provided FWPIAUPD update utility. Using the FW image file with a SPI flash device programmer will result in a non-functional system. =============================================================================== ISSUES FIXED =============================================================================== 01.07.10481 HSD: 1209549138: [SilverPass] "Voltage Voltage Fault | State Asserted" log in Power cycle test 01.06.10427 EPSD100036067:BMC SEL record extra "Power Supply PS1 Status | Presence detected| Deasserted" log in aware BIOS power cycle test. 01.05.10416 EPSD100036067:BMC SEL record extra "Power Supply PS1 Status | Presence detected | Deasserted" log in aware BIOS power cycle test.
