  • Page 95: Maxcore Firmware Upgrade

    Appendix A MaxCore Firmware Upgrade MaxCore Firmware Upgrade There are several firmware elements in a MaxCore system that may need upgrades throughout the product’s life cycle. Some firmware elements are part of the system itself and some reside on PCIe cards. This section provides information on how to upgrade the firmware elements that are part of the system only.

  • Page 96: Upgrade Procedure

    MaxCore Firmware Upgrade You can manage the system firmware elements as HPM.1 components. You can determine the revision of the HPM.1 firmware components using the tool called ipmitool. You can download it from http://ipmitool.sourceforge.net. There are different versions of ipmitool available, each using different command sets to the BMC.
  • Page 97 MaxCore Firmware Upgrade You can upgrade the BMC firmware through the BMC’s web browser accessed from the remote machine (network connection from remote machine to BMC required) through the IP address 192.168.201.9 with Username admin and Password admin Firmware upgrades via web browser are only supported by firmware revisions higher than v1.0.10 (the BMC firmware revision can be retrieved with ipmitool, refer to Obtaining Revisions of Firmware Components on page 95).
