GENERAL INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

- Unzip the contents of the update package and copy all files to the root directory on a USB flash drive
- Insert the USB flash drive to any available USB port on the server system to be updated
- Power on the server
- The system will automatically access the uEFI shell and begin the update process.

Or

- If the files were copied to a folder other than the root, Boot the Server to
the uEFI shell. This can be accessed via the <F2> BIOS setup utility during
POST or via the <F6> Boot Menu accessed during POST.
- Run the command "map -r" in the uEFI shell to mount the USB flash drive
- Run the command "fs0:" to change folders to the USB flash drive. The USB
flash drive may also mount to fs1: depending on other installed devices. The
number of "fs#" is dependent on the result of command "map -r"
- Change folders to the folder holding the update package files and manually
start the "Startup.nsh" script file to start loading all updates
- Reboot the system after the update process has successfully completed

Web GUI update

2. Log into the BMC web GUI
3. Navigate to Configuration, then Firmware Update
4. Click browse, and direct the browser to the location of Purley_1.04.f80688d0.bin
5. Click upload. Progress and status will be shown as the update progresses

Verifying Updates:

- During POST, hit the <F2> Key when prompted to access the BIOS Setup Utility
- From the BIOS Setup Utility main menu, Hit the <F9> key to load BIOS Defaults
- At the MAIN menu verify the BIOS revision is correct
- Move cursor to the SERVER MANAGEMENT Menu and hit Enter
- Move cursor down to the SYSTEM INFORMATION Option and hit Enter
- Verify the BMC Firmware revision is correct
- Verify the SDR revision is correct

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.
