- Windows or Linux operating system using Intel One-boot Flash Update (OFU) V11.0 Build 15 or later)
- Windows Preboot Execution Environment (WinPE)

To update from the embedded EFI Shell
- Unzip package and copy all files to root folder in USB flash drive
- Insert USB flash drive to server USB port
- Reboot server, system will start BIOS/BMC/FRUSDR update automatically

If the unzipped package is not under the root folder of USB flash drive:
- Reboot server to EFI shell manually
- Run command "map -r" in EFI shell to find the mount point of the USB flash drive
- The USB flash drive may mount to fs0: or fs1: or other.
- Run command "fs0:" or other to change folder to USB flash drive,
- Change folder to the folder storing the firmware package
- Run command "startup.nsh" to start firmware update process

Alternate Update Procedure: Individual Firmware Update Procedure

If you want to update firmware components individually, like BMC/BIOS/ME/FRUSDR, do NOT run the "STARTUP.NSH" file described in the Standard Update Procedure above. Instead, run the individual .NSH script file for each update included in the update package files. Follow the update order below to ensure a trouble free update:

Update BMC Firmware
1) Boot the system to the EFI shell and go to root folder
2) At the shell prompt, run "UpdateBMC.nsh" to start BMC Firmware update
3) When complete, go to the BIOS update section described below, or power off the system and cycle AC power before continuing.

Update System BIOS
1) Boot the system to the EFI shell and go to root folder
2) At the shell prompt, run "UpdateBIOS.nsh" to start BIOS update
3) When complete, reboot the system and enter BIOS Setup by pressing the F2 Key during POST
4) Verify the BIOS string on main BIOS menu
5) Press F9 to load defaults and press F10 to save and reset the system
6) Go to the ME firmware update section described below.
7) The BIOS update is complete. Either reboot the server or go to the ME firmware Update section described below.

Update ME Firmware
1) Boot the system to the EFI shell and go to root folder
2) At the shell prompt, run "UpdateME.nsh" to start ME firmware update
3) When complete, go to the FRUSDR update section described below, or power off the system and cycle AC power before continuing.

Update FRUSDR

About Firmware Updates:

Applying a newer firmware version than the one already installed on your unit can bring various enhancements, include workarounds for diverse problems encountered by the device, and improve or add newly developed features.

On the other hand, downgrading the firmware version can recover the device’s functionality in the event of a software update either turning up faulty or causing the unit’s overall performance to drop. However, bear in mind that applying an older firmware isn’t recommended and might not always be possible.

When it comes to the update steps, due to the large variety of devices and numerous ways for installing a new firmware, it is recommended that you carefully read and understand the upgrade steps, and consider applying a different firmware only when you have familiarized yourself with the update method.

As the installation process is most of the times quite risky, this step should be taken by users that have the ability to successfully complete the update; regular users may initiate it at their own risk. Moreover, it’s best that this task be performed in a steady power environment such as the one ensured by a UPS unit.

Therefore, if you consider applying this release, hit the download button, take into account all the aforementioned aspects, and update the device’s firmware. Also make sure you constantly check with our website to ensure that you don’t miss a single new release.

  It is highly recommended to always use the most recent driver version available.

Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver. This will help if you installed an incorrect or mismatched driver. Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer.
