Updating the firmware (BIOS and BMC)

All files that are required for updating the server blade components are available
at http://download.ts.fujitsu.com.
You can update both the firmware of the server blade BIOS and the firmware of
the server blade BMC.
I
BMC is the abbreviation for Baseboard Management Controller. The
BMC on the server blade collects management information and passes
it on to the management blade.
Two procedures are available for updating the firmware of the server blade BIOS
and server blade BMC:
– Updating the firmware of the server blade using TFTP. You will find a
description of this procedure in the manual for the basic unit.
– Updating the firmware of the server blade from the USB floppy disk drive.
You update the firmware of the BX620 S6 Server Blade from the USB floppy
disk drive as follows:
Ê Create a boot disk or a USB boot stick and copy the required BIOS and/or
BMC files to this disk.
Ê Connect the breakout cable to the relevant server blade. Connect the USB
floppy disk drive to the other end of the breakout cable.
Ê Switch the server blade on or restart it. The firmware is updated automati-
cally.
I
You may need to change the order of the boot devices in the BIOS to
enable the server blade to boot from the floppy disk. You will find more
information on this in the
ServerView Installation Manager user manual.
