BIOS Firmware Updates

BIOS updates can be performed through the Service Processor (SP) software. A single firmware image contains both the ILOM SP and BIOS firmware. Every time the SP firmware is updated, a BIOS version check is performed. This check compares the BIOS firmware installed in ROM with the version contained in the firmware image. If the BIOS firmware already installed in ROM is older than the version contained in the image it is overwritten; the ROM is updated with the newer version of BIOS firmware.
