How to Identify BIOS and BMC Revision Levels
To help you identify your system's current BIOS and BMC revision levels, refer to the
following subsections.
BIOS Revision Level Identification
During system Power-On Self Test (POST), which runs automatically when your
system is powered on, your system monitor displays several messages, one of which
identifies the BIOS revision level currently loaded on your system, see the example
below.
Note: In order to see the diagnostic messages, the ESC key
must be pressed.
Example: BIOS Revision Level
Phoenix BIOS 4.0 Release 6.0.250A
In the example above, BIOS 6.0.250A is the current BIOS revision level loaded on your
system.
Note:
The BIOS Revision Level stated in the example may not
reflect the actual BIOS setting in your system.
BMC Revision Level Identification
During system Power-On Self Test (POST), which runs automatically when your
system is powered on, system diagnostics are run. Following the memory test
diagnostic, several messages will appear informing you that the mouse was detected
and system configuration data updated, when you see these messages the BMC
messages are displayed next.
Note: In order to see the diagnostic messages, the ESC key
must be pressed.
To identify your system's current BMC revision level, see the example below.
