Updating ME Firmware

When performing the standard ME force update procedure, the update utility places the

ME into an update mode, allowing the ME to load safely onto the flash device. In the

unlikely event ME firmware update process fails due to ME not being in the proper update

state, the server board provides an Integrated BMC Force Update jumper, which forces the

ME into the proper update state. The following procedure should be completed in the

event the standard ME firmware update process fails.

1. Power down and remove the AC power cord.

2. Open the server chassis. For instructions, see your server chassis documentation.

3. Move jumper from the default operating position (covering pins 1 and 2) to the

enabled position (covering pins 2 and 3).

4. Close the server chassis.

5. Reconnect the AC cord and power up the server.

6. Perform the ME firmware update procedure as documented in the README.TXT

file that is included in the given ME firmware update package (same package

as BIOS).
