HP Integrity rx7620 Server - User Service Guide, Sixth Edition

Updating Option ROMs
The Option ROM on a PCI I/O card can be “flashed” or updated. To flash an I/O card, follow
these steps:
1. Install the I/O card into the chassis.
2. Boot the server to the EFI shell.
3. Run the EFI search command.
To add a single card:
search <cell> <pci_slot #>
To add all cards:
search all
4. Run the EFI map –r command:
NOTE: Each I/O card type and firmware image update may require a different flash utility
and procedure. Follow the instructions in the .txt file included with the latest HP IPF
Offline Diagnostic & Utilities CD.
5. Load the HP IPF Offline Diagnostic & Utilities CD.
The CD contains the flash utility for IO for each card type, firmware images, and a .txt
file that includes instructions and information about updating the firmware images.
