A jumper at location J1B1 on the Intel® Management Module must cover
pins 1 and 2 to update the boot block. Cover pins 2 and 3 on this jumper to
write-protect the BMC boot block.
Check the release notes for the firmware release that you are trying to update.
It may require updating both boot code and operational code.
