Firmware

Reimage the appliance module

Before performing a first-time setup of an HPE Synergy appliance module, you must update the appliance
module firmware. By updating the firmware on the appliance module, you ensure that it is compatible with
the HPE Synergy software release.
When setting up HPE Synergy for the first time, the appliance firmware must be compatible with the HPE
Synergy software release that is selected. When installing an appliance module in an existing HPE
Synergy, then the following must be true:
• The appliance module firmware is compatible with the HPE Synergy software release on HPE
Synergy.
• The appliance module firmware is the same version installed on other appliance modules of the same
type installed in HPE Synergy.
For more information, see Validating HPE Synergy appliance firmware on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise
website (http://www.hpe.com/info/synergy-fw-validation).

Updating the firmware for the frame components

After all the hardware components are installed and connected to power, update the firmware on all
components as required. Some components, such as appliance modules and compute modules, have
specific requirements to ensure compatibility.
When installing new appliance modules in a frame that will be added to an existing management ring,
always update the appliance module firmware to match the firmware version of the other appliance
modules in the management ring. For more information, see Validating HPE Synergy appliance firmware
on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (http://www.hpe.com/info/synergy-fw-validation).
