Changing the BIOS language
You can use the BIOS update utility to change the language used for
text in the BIOS setup user interface:
1 Insert the diskette holding the BIOS update files into the floppy
drive and boot the server.
2 Follow the instructions that appear on the screen, choosing to
update the language files.
3 When the utility finishes updating the BIOS, remove the diskette
from floppy drive and reboot the system.
Firmware updates
The Firmware Update Utility is a DOS-based program used to update
the BMC and HSC firmware code. You need to run the utility only if a
new firmware code is necessary. The utility is included with the
firmware update file.
To update the firmware:
1 Download the firmware update along with any ReadMe, Release
Notes, and other files listed on the Web page for the update.
2 Print and read the ReadMe, Release Notes, and any other text or
document files that came with the update. The files from the Web
page contain the latest information and instructions for the
update, which supersedes the information in this User’s guide.
3 Follow the installation instructions that came with the update.
4 After the update is complete, if you are updating the BMC
firmware, disconnect the AC power cord from the system and wait
for 60 seconds.
5 Follow the installation instructions that came with the update.
Note: To complete the update of the BMC firmware, you must
disconnect the AC power cord to remove the standby power from
the BMC. Removing the standby power forces the BMC to reset,
which is necessary to complete the update.
6 Reconnect the AC power cord and power up the system.
