BMC firmware is used for board and
module maintenance. Unlike the other
Blade Element firmware, BMC firmware
updates require a reset of the BMC only
in the updated Blade Element. When you
perform the Switch to Use Shadow
Firmware Image After Reset action in
OSM (or through the guided procedure),
the BMC is instantly reset, and the Blade
Element starts running the new BMC
firmware immediately. The rest of the
updated Blade Element firmware does
not become active (running) until you
reset the Blade Element.

*T0287H01^AAF is the minimum required HSS firmware for NS16200 and NS16000/NS16200
mixed systems; however, if there is ever a need to downgrade to an NS16000 and fall back to an
RVU earlier than H06.08, you will need to upgrade all three of HSS firmware, Primitive State
firmware, and PAL/SAL firmware to T0287AAI.
