Updating the Broadcom* NetXtreme* Gigabit Ethernet controller
firmware
The Broadcom* NetXtreme* Gigabit Ethernet controller on the Intel
following requirements for SOL operation:
• An SOL capable Ethernet I/O module must be installed in I/O module bay 1 of the SBCE unit (see
"Hardware and firmware requirements" on page 1).
• The SOL jumper J28 on the Intel
is the default jumper position. See "SOL jumper placement" on page 19.
Complete the following steps to update the Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet controller firmware for the
®
Intel Server Compute Blade SBXL52. You do not have to configure the Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit
Ethernet Controller to enable SOL.
1. Get the latest version of the Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet controller firmware for the Intel
Server Compute Blade SBXL52 from your Intel Corporation Support Representative.
2. Update the blade server Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet controller firmware, following the
instructions that come with the update file that you downloaded. To update the blade server Broadcom
NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet controller firmware, use an update diskette or use the Broadcom NetXtreme
Gigabit Ethernet controller diagnostic utility, depending on the operating system that is installed on your
blade server.
