H06.11 Software Installation and Upgrade Guide

1. Locate the ServerNet Switch Board on one Internal ServerNet Fabric (in the tree pane, select
System > Fabric Group > Internal ServerNet Fabric > Processor Switch > ServerNet Switch
Board).
2. Right-click the ServerNet Switch Board object and select Actions.
3. In the Actions dialog box, select ME Firmware Update and click Perform Action.
4. Monitor the update.
5. Repeat for the processor switch on the other Internal ServerNet Fabric.
To use the OSM Service Connection to update the ME firmware for each IOAM:
1. Locate the ServerNet Switch Board on one IOAM (in the tree pane, select System > Group
> IOAM Enclosure > IOAM > ServerNet Switch Board).
2. Right-click the ServerNet Switch Board object and select Actions.
3. In the Actions dialog box, select ME Firmware Update and click Perform Action.
4. Monitor the update.
5. Repeat for the processor switch on the other Internal ServerNet Fabric.
You can also check and update ME firmware using the OSM Low-Level Link. For more
information, see the OSM Low-Level Link online help.
For the NonStop NS1000 and NonStop NS14000 systems only: Use the OSM Service Connection
to update the ME firmware for processor switches.
NOTE: T2805A01^AAF or later is required for the NonStop NS1000 and NonStop NS14000
systems.
1. Locate the ServerNet Switch Board on one Internal ServerNet Fabric (in the tree pane, select
System > Fabric Group > IOAM Enclosure > ServerNet Switch Board).
2. Right-click the ServerNet Switch Board object and select Actions.
3. In the Actions dialog box, select ME Firmware Update and click Perform Action.
4. Monitor the update.
5. Repeat for the processor switch on the other Internal ServerNet Fabric.

Use the OSM Service Connection to check and (if necessary) update ME FPGA just as you did
when updating ME firmware for both processor switches and IOAMs, except update the ME
FPGA firmware.
