d) Verify that BootNext has changed to 0003. The BootNext value indicates what option will be booted
next when the enclosure is restarted.
e) Restart the enclosure.
The EFI shell will automatically launch the Startup.nsh file and start the BIOS update. The BIOS will
begin to flash on the system and the enclosure will restart. Once the system restarts, it will run through
the different components to verify that there were no errors that occurred during the update. The
enclosure will restart a second time to finish applying the BIOS updates.
4. Once the enclosure boots through the normal boot screen, navigate to the root of the EFI partition and
delete the Startup.nsh file. Failure to delete the Startup.nsh can lead to the enclosure being set on a
continuous boot loop.
5. Verify that the BIOS has been updated using Dmidecode.
a) Check the current BIOS version by issuing the command:
sudo dmidecode -t 0 | grep Version
A BIOS ID number will be displayed with the BIOS version number contained in it. To learn how to read
the BIOS ID see:
Current BIOS Version Example
Version: SE5C620.86B.00.01.0013.030920180427
b) Verify that the version of the BIOS is the latest version.
