The order is important to minimize any issues for status checking as different components are initialized. 1. CPLD 2. BIOS/Manageability Engine (ME) firmware (as directed in BIOS Release Notes) 3. DCPMM Firmware 4. BMC =============================================================================== INSTALLATION PROCEDURE =============================================================================== There are two supported ways to update the BMC firmware. You may opt to use the Web UI or the legacy UEFI method. Web GUI update 1. Unzip the package onto your system 2. Log into the BMC web UI 3. Navigate to Configuration, then Firmware Update 4. Click browse, and direct the browser to the location of KeltonPass_BMC_4.15.edd7410f_cap.bin 5. Click upload. Progress and status will be shown as the update progresses UEFI update 1. Unzip package and load onto a flash drive 2. Boot to UEFI shell, and navigate to the folder where this package lives 3. Run KlpUpdBmc.nsh =============================================================================== FIRMWARE UPGRADE/DOWNGRADE PROCEDURES =============================================================================== Upgrade of BMC FW from version 4.01 to later versions will be documented in the release notes for those versions. Reverting to a lower version of firmware may have unexpected side effects, including but not limited to user settings reset to defaults, and will always result in the loss of functionality which was present in the higher version but was not implemented in the lower version. We do not guarantee that any downgrade will operate without side-effects. Always observe caution when downgrading firmware. =============================================================================== KNOWN ISSUES/WORKAROUNDS/REQUIREMENTS =============================================================================== The BMC Web interface/ Redfish / IPMI (out of band) are disabled by default.
