• All possible updates, press Enter, which selects the default of Select all.
• Individual updates, press Tab and arrow keys until the cursor is on the check box ([
] ) associated with an update, then press Enter.
An X will appear in each selection box, indicating that the firmware will be updated.
To deselect, press Tab and arrow keys until the cursor is on the check box ([ ] ) associated

For information about selecting partitions and cells on a mid-range or high-end system, see
Using HP OFM on Mid-Range and High-End Systems.
2. Select Begin update.
The firmware update process beings.
3. Monitor the console during the firmware update.
During the update, you might be prompted to confirm certain actions and will be prompted
for the EFI password if the EFI shell is protected by an administrator password.
The system will reboot and might require multiple reboots, depending on each firmware
update requirement. After each reboot, HP OFM will automatically restart using a Firmware
Update boot option.
If the reboot sequence is interrupted, the firmware update will be incomplete. In this case,
exit to the EFI Boot Manager and manually select the Firmware Update option to complete
the update cycle.
4. If the Management Processor firmware was updated, the Management Processor will reset
and the message shown in Figure 3-3 will be displayed. At this time, you must reestablish
any Telnet session to view the results.
