Firmware Update
NEC Express5800/ft series can update firmware (including BIOS) if some hardware components
operate in the online state (in which the system continues the operation but the component trying to
update firmware or BIOS is stopped).
Updating firmware can be performed from the ft server utility.
To update the firmware of a component, the firmware image file of the firmware for update must
previously be stored in the managed server. On the firmware update screen, specify the path to the
firmware image file for update.
The table below shows the potential cases in which the firmware of a component is to be updated.
