BMC Force Update Procedure
When performing a standard BMC firmware update procedure, the update utility places the BMC into
an update mode to allow the firmware to load safely onto the flash device. In the unlikely event that
the BMC firmware update process fails because the BMC is not in the proper update state, the server
board provides a BMC Force Update jumper that can force the BMC into the proper update state. Use
the following procedure if the standard BMC firmware update process fails.
1. Power down and remove AC Power.
2. Open the server chassis. Open the server. See
Section 3.2.1, “Removing the Chassis Cover” on
for instructions.
3. Put a jumper on the J1E3 header.
4. Close the server chassis.
5. Reconnect the power and restart the system.
6. Perform the standard BMC firmware update procedure as documented in the README.TXT file
included in the BMC Firmware Update package.
7. When the update has finished, power down the system and remove the power cord.
8. Open the server chassis (remove the top cover).
9. Remove the jumper from J1E3.
10. Close the server chassis.
11. Reconnect the power and restart the system.
Note:
Normal BMC functionality is disabled when the Force BMC Update jumper is populated.
The server should never be run with the BMC Force Update jumper populated and
should only be used when the standard firmware update process fails. This header
should remain unpopulated when the server is running normally.
