Updating the BMC Firmware
NOTE: Before beginning the firmware update, download the latest firmware
version and save it on your local system. During the process of firmware update, the
AC power of the managed system cannot be unplugged and the Web GUI cannot be
closed.
NOTE: Once you enter into Update Mode and choose to cancel the firmware flash
operation, the BMC must be reset. This means that you must close the Internet
browser and log back onto the BMC card before you can perform any other types of
operations.
Select the Enter Update Mode button from the Maintenance tab to put the
device in a special mode that allows firmware update. You can now follow the
instructions presented below to successfully update the card’s firmware. The
device resets if update is cancelled. The device also resets upon successful
completion of firmware update.
1 Browse to, or enter the path on your system where the firmware image file
resides.
Example:
C:\Updates\V1.0\<image_name>
The default firmware image name is s81s
XXX .bin (whereas XXX is the
version number).
2 Select Auto Reset BMC if you want the BMC to auto reset after the
update.
3 BMC will not check if the Firmware image belongs to C5230 platform
when selecting Force Update.
4 Click the Upload Firmware button.
5 BMC will save configure settings when Preserve Configuration is selected.
