All files required for updating the PRIMERGY BX600 S2 basic unit components 
are available from 

.

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

I

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 TFTP update package 

 from the Fujitsu Siemens download server 

.

Ê

Extract the desired BIOS and/or BMC firmware files to the root directory of 
the TFTP file system. For information on the image file names, see the 

file of the update package.

Ê

Check the LAN connection by pinging the relevant server blade.

Ê

Update the firmware of the server blade (BIOS and BMC).

You have two options for doing this:

1. In the management console (Telnet) select the 

 submenu. 

The update process is similar to the process via the management blade 
web user interface (see below).
