1. Download the FWUPDATE flash component from the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Support Center
website.

• Configure the boot order so that the USB key is the first bootable device.
• Press the F11 key (Boot Menu) when prompted during system boot to access the One-Time Boot
Menu. This menu allows you to select the boot device for a specific boot and does not modify the boot
order configuration settings.

The FWUPDATE utility checks the system and provides a choice (if more than one exists) of available
firmware revisions.
To download the flash components, see the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Support Center website.
For more information about One-Time Boot Menu, see the UEFI System Utilities user guide for your product
on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website.
