Updating BX600 System Components

Update the firmware of the server blade (BIOS and BMC).

You have two options for doing this:

1. In the management console (Telnet) select the

TFTP Update

submenu.

The update process is similar to the process via the management blade
web user interface (see below).

2. In the web interface of the management blade, select the menu

System Property–Environ./Maintenance–Firmware Update–Server Blade BMC

System Property–Environ./Maintenance–Firmware Update–Server Blade BIOS

For security reasons the BIOS and BMC firmware can only be
updated if the relevant server blade was shut down beforehand,
otherwise the update option is not offered in the web menu.

Figure 21: Updating the server blade BIOS via the web interface

In the

TFTP Server IP Address

field, enter the IP address of the TFTP server

which provides the BIOS image file for the server blade firmware.

In the

Boot Image File Name

field, enter the file name of the boot image file for

the server blade.

Use the

Add

and

Delete

buttons to select the server blades whose BIOS is to

be updated.

Click the

Apply

button. The update file is transferred to all selected server

blades and the update process is started. The progress of the update
process is shown in a status screen.

Once the update process is complete, the server blade(s) is (are) restarted.
