Server Boards and Server Platforms Server Management Guide 47
This method requires the Intel
®
One Boot Flash Update Utility (Intel
®
OFU), which needs to be
downloaded from Intel
®
’s support web site and is part of the “BIOS, Firmware Update and
configuration utilities for Linux*”.
Extract the Intel
®
OFU package for Linux* and run ./setup to install the Intel
®
OFU utility on
your system.
Download and copy “Firmware Update Package for the Intel
®
Deployment Assistant, Intel
®
One-
boot Flash Utility, Intel
®
embedded EFI shell and Microsoft Windows* Preboot Execution
Environment (WinPE)” (name may vary depending on the platform) from the support web site to
your USB key.
Run flashupdt –u /updatepackage_location/flashupdt.cfg
The new BMC firmware takes effect the next time system is rebooted.
NOTE
The Intel
®
OFU utility is case sensitive. Therefore, when you transfer the Firmware Update Package
using USB key from a Microsoft Windows* system to a Linux* environment, you must first extract
under the Microsoft Windows* environment. Otherwise, you will need to mount the USB key
manually with “vfat” option under Linux* to avoid conversion from upper case to lower case and
vice versa.
