Software updates
Your system comes with preinstalled firmware for the system BIOS,
baseboard management controller (BMC), and hot-swap controller
(HSC). A FRU/SDR load utility is included on the System CD.
Updates are available in two forms:
•
A software update package (SUP) containing all updates (BIOS,
BMC, HSC, and FRU/SDR)
•
Individual files, one for each update
To use either form of update, you must create bootable diskettes. The
procedure for creating bootable diskettes is described in the following
section. SUPs are discussed on page 190 and individual updates on
page 191.
Creating bootable diskettes
To use diskettes for updates, you must format them as system or
bootable diskettes with ROM-DOS version 6.22 or later or MS-DOS
version 6.22 or later.
Note:
It is recommended that you create bootable diskettes by
booting the target system from the System CD. However, the
process for making the diskettes is the same for all compatible
versions of DOS. ROM-DOS version 6.22 is included on the
System CD.
To format a diskette as a bootable diskette
1
Boot to the System CD.
2
Exit from the menu to a DOS prompt.
3
Insert a diskette into the floppy drive.
