®
Server Compute Blade SBX82
firmware release package. The firmware package may be found on the web at
http://www.intel.com/ibl or http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/blade.htm. If
the firmware is unavailable, please contact your Intel support representative.
2. The firmware image files are self-extracting images and will extract to a floppy diskette. Extract
the BIOS files to a floppy diskette. Extract the diagnostics files to two floppy diskettes.
Depending upon the BIOS flash version, you may be required to accept a licensing agreement in
order to extract the files.
3. After extracting the files to the floppy diskette, insert the "SBX82 BIOS Flash Disk" into drive
A.
4. Boot up or restart the blade server that is to be updated.
5. The system will boot from the diskette and present a window that allows for the selection of
various flash or update options. Choose "2-Update Diagnostic."
6. The system will prompt you to enter the first diskette containing the diagnostic code. Insert the
"Diagnostics Flash Update Diskette 1 of 2" diskette into drive A and select "enter".
7. After loading the image from the first diskette, the system will prompt you to insert the second
diskette containing the diagnostic code. Insert the "Diagnostics Flash Update Diskette 2 of 2"
diskette into drive A and select "enter".
8. After the second image is loaded from the diskette, the system will ask you to wait while the
images are flashed into ROM. When this is complete, you will be prompted to remove the
diskette and select "enter" to restart the system.
9. Once the system has restarted, confirm the version change by checking the Diagnostics revision
shown under the "Firmware VPD" tab in the Management Module web interface. See the
