Using the Firmware Update Utility
The Firmware Update Utility (FUU) is a DOS-based program used to
update the BMC firmware code.
Running the Firmware Update Utility
You need to run the firmware update utility (FUU) only if new firmware
code is necessary.
1. Create a DOS-bootable diskette. The version of DOS must be 6.0 or
higher.
2. Place the firmware update utility (FWUPDATE.EXE) and the *.hex
file on the diskette. Make a note of the *.hex file name, because you
will need it later.
3. Insert the diskette into drive A and boot to it.
4. At the DOS prompt, run the executable file (FWUPDATE.EXE).
5. The utility displays a menu screen. Select Upload Flash .
6. The utility asks for a file name. Enter the name of the *.HEX file.
7. The program loads the file and then asks if it should upload the boot
block. Press
N to continue.
8. The program next asks if it should upload the operational code. Press
Y to continue.
9. Once the operational code has been updated and verified, press any
key to continue. Then press
E SC to exit the program.
10. Shut the system down and remove any diskettes in the system.
11. Disconnect all AC power cords from the system and wait 60 seconds.
12. Reconnect the AC power cords and power up the system.
