Note:
After updating the BIOS, users need to power off the system first, and then power it on
to start it. After disconnecting the power, please make sure there is no residual electricity on
the mainboard, and then power on the server. Users can check it through testing whether UID
indicator can be lit up; press UID button, if the UID indicator comes on, it indicates there is
residual electricity on the mainboard, if not, there is no residual electricity on the mainboard.

3.3.2 Update BIOS under Linux System
It needs to use afulnx tool to update BIOS under Linux OS, and afulnx tool has two
versions of 32-bit and 64-bit. Taking Linux 64bit OS as an example, use afulnx_64 tool, enter
the directory where afulnx_64 tool resides, and put the bin file of the corresponding BIOS
into this folder.
When ME part has no change, just update BIOS part, execute the command: ./afulnx_64
BIOS.bin /b /p /n /x /k /l
When ME part has changes, it needs to update BIOS and ME at the same time, execute
the command: ./afulnx_64 BIOS.bin /b /p /n /x /k /l /me, BIOS.bin is the bin file of the new
BIOS version.
The notes after update and parameter description are the same as those under DOS.
Besides, when updating BIOS under Linux system, it needs to run the afulnx_64 tool
under root, and the afulnx_64 tool needs driver's support; the system should be installed with
gcc package, otherwise, the driver can't be built.
