Updating the BMC Firmware

CAUTION: Before beginning the firmware update, download the latest firmware

version and save it on your local system. During the process of a firmware update,

the AC power of the managed system should not be unplugged and the Web GUI

should not be closed.

NOTE: You will not be able to perform any task during the firmware upgrade

process. Wait for the upgrade to be completed before attempting any task.

Click the

Update

menu to access the Firmware Update page.

Click

Browse

to locate the firmware file. Or, enter the path on your system

where the firmware image file resides. For example:

C:\Updates\V1.0\<image_name>

Select firmware update type. If a BMC firmware update type is selected,

after the upload process is started, any attempt to refresh, logout or

navigate away from the update page will restart the remote system.

When you choose to force a firmware update, BMC will update the image

without first validating the target board, target product and version

number.

Click

Upload

to initialize the update process.

NOTE: The upload process terminates all other sessions including KVM.

Browse Button Use this button to navigate to the firmware file saved

onto a media.

Update Type Select a firmware update type.

• Normal (default): Updates the firmware only when the

BMC validates the target board, target product, and

version number.

• Forced: This forces the BMC to update the image

without first validating the target board, target product

and version number.

CAUTION: Do not attempt a forced firmware upgrade

without assistance from Dell Technical Support.

Upload Button Use this button to initialize the update process.
