BMC Firmware Update Utility

The BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) firmware update utility is a DOS-based program used to update
the BMC firmware code. This utility should only be run if new firmware code is necessary.

BMC Firmware Update Procedure

Before proceeding, read the BMC firmware release notes to determine which update utility version is appropriate
for the new firmware version.
1. Copy the BMC firmware update utility UPFW.exe and BMC firmware image file S47vxxx.bin
(xxx = firmware version) to an easily accessible location such as remote HDD or USB key.
Note:
Do not use memory management utilities in the DOS environment during the firm-
ware update procedure. Management utilities may cause the firmware update
procedure to fail.
2. In the Web Server, go to Maintenance
3. In Upgrade Mode, use the following commands to upgrade the firmware.
To save any configuration changes and apply them after updating the firmware:
upfw /s S47vxxx.bin /r (not case sensitive)
To update the firmware with factory default settings:
upfw S47vxxx.bin /r (not case sensitive)
4. Press the Enter key.
5. Download displays a message during the flash in progress. The server reboots after the upgrade is com-
plete.
6. When the server restarts, in the Web Server, go to System Information
check the firmware version matches the update file version.
