Update BIOS via Lifecycle Controller (F10)
Lifecycle Controller provides a Platform Update wizard that can be used to flash the BIOS and other
firmware as well. You can use the Platform Update wizard to view the current versions of the installed
applications and firmware, display the list of available updates, and select the required updates,
downloads, and apply the updates. Different methods, such as FTP server, local USB devices, and
network share, can be set up to access the updates in your organization. For detailed usage, please
refer to the Lifecycle Controller User’s guide. In this document we use the local USB device as an
example.
Lifecycle Controller can be entered by pressing F10 during POST. To update the BIOS using Lifecycle
Controller, perform the following steps.
1. Plug the USB into the host.
2. Press F10 during POST. Lifecycle Controller will open (Figure 13).
