The load command is used to retrieve a binary image from a specific source location (specified as
a URL) and place it at the specified target address.
The load command can download and flash an ldr firmware image file using TFTP from the
specified location.
To flash the firmware using TFTP settings:
•
On Windows®:
a.
Copy the BMC firmware into a directory on the server.
b.
Run TFTP by launching the executable file tftpd32.exe.
c.
Navigate to TFTP configuration>Settings, and set Timeout to 4 seconds and Max Retransmit to
10.
d.
Enter the Base Directory and TFTP Server IP Address. Base Directory is the path where the BMC
firmware is residing. TFTP Server IP Address is the IP address of the TFTP server (for example,
10.141.38.157).
•
On Linux:
a.
Navigate to Applications>Systems Settings>Server Settings>Services and make sure that TFTP
and xinetd are running.
b.
Open the /etc/xinetd.d/tftp file and modify the parameter server_args to include -T
4000000 and -s/<tftp root directory>. For example, server_args = -c -s
/tftpboot -T 4000000.
c.
If a firewall is enabled, disable it or modify the settings to allow the firewall to connect to the
TFTP port. To change the firewall settings, navigate to Applications>System Settings>Security
Level, and enter
69:udp in the parameter of the other port.
To update the firmware, log in to LO100 as the administrator through the CLP interface, and issue the

b.
At the command prompt, enter telnet <IP address>.
2.
At the CLP prompt, enter cd map1/firmware.
3.
At the CLP prompt, enter load -source <URI> -oemhpfiletype csr
where:
