BX600 S3

 basic unit compo-

nents are available from 

. 

You can update both the firmware of the server blade BIOS and the firmware of 
the server blade BMC.

BMC stands for Baseboard Management Controller. The BMC on the 
server blade collects management information and forwards it to the 
management blade.

There are two possible procedures for updating the firmware of the server blade 
BIOS and the server blade BMC:

–

Updating the server blade firmware from a USB floppy drive

This procedure is described in the Operating Manual for the server blade 
(see 

).

–

Updating the firmware of the server blade with TFTP (see below).

Ê

Install your TFTP server software and start it.

Ê

Download the firmware file(s) for the TFTP update from the Fujitsu Techno-
logy Solutions download server

Ê

Copy the desired BIOS and/or BMC firmware files to the root directory of the 
TFTP file system.

Ê

Check the LAN connection by pinging the relevant server blade.
