5.4 Updating System Components
All files required for updating the PRIMERGY BX600 S3 basic unit compo-
nents are available from http://support.ts.fujitsu.com/com/support/downloads.html .
5.4.1 Updating the Server Blade Firmware (BIOS and
BMC)
You can update both the firmware of the server blade BIOS and the firmware of
the server blade BMC.
I
BMC stands for Baseboard Management Controller. The BMC on the
server blade collects management information and forwards it to the
management blade.
There are two possible procedures for updating the firmware of the server blade
BIOS and the server blade BMC:
– Updating the server blade firmware from a USB floppy drive
This procedure is described in the Operating Manual for the server blade
(see
“Related Publications” on page 157 ).
– Updating the firmware of the server blade with TFTP (see below).
Proceed as follows:
Ê Install your TFTP server software and start it.
Ê Download the firmware file(s) for the TFTP update from the Fujitsu Techno-
logy Solutions download server
http://support.ts.fujitsu.com/com/support/downloads.html .
Ê Copy the desired BIOS and/or BMC firmware files to the root directory of the
TFTP file system.
Ê Check the LAN connection by pinging the relevant server blade.
