Please refer to Intel OFU user guide about the details of installation and usage of OFU. Use OFU to update system firmware by the following steps: - Install OFU on Windows* or Linux* system - Download the latest firmware update package from http://downloadcenter.intel.com/ - Unzip package to a folder - Run the following command in Windows* command line/Linux* terminal window: :\flashupdt -u \flashupdt.cfg To update from Windows* Preboot Execution Environment (WinPE) The System Firmware Update Package can be inserted to Windows* PE customized image for creating a bootable Windows* PE CD. User is able to update system firmware from customized WinPE CD by the following steps: - Boot server with customized WinPE CD - Run script "WinPE21_x64_Update.bat" or "WinPE20_x86_Update.bat" (name may be varied depends on your own customization) Note: 1. The Intel(R) OFU utility is case sensitive. Therefore, when you transfer the Firmware Update Package using USB flash drive from a Microsoft Windows* system to a Linux environment, you must first extract under the Linux* environment. Otherwise, you will need to mount the USB flash drive manually with 'vfat' option under Linux to avoid conversion from upper case to lower case and vice versa. 2. To make Intel(R) OFU utility run properly under x86 or x64 OS, you have to read OFU release notes on known issues for OFU installation. 3. In this SFUP package, Intel only provide batch file "WinPE_x86_Update.bat" for WinPE2.0 32 bit solution "WinPE_x64_Update.bat" for WinPE2.1/3.0 64 bit solution as an example. Please refer to white paper "White Paper-Intel Server Utilities Procedure for WinPE.pdf" for details on building your own customized WinPE CD. 4. Windows PE 2.0 - built from Windows Vista SP1 32bit or EM64T 5. Windows PE 2.1 - built from Windows Vista SP1 or Windows Server 2008, EM64T 6. Windows PE 3.1 - built from Windows Server 2008R2, EM64T 7. Microsoft IPMI driver is loaded by default from WinPE CD, if you want to use Intel IPMI driver instead of MS IPMI driver for firmware update, you can un-install Microsoft IPMI driver by: Devicesetup.exe ¨Cv remove *IPI0001 Note: IPI0001 is the device ID for Microsoft IPMI driver. ================================================================================ BIOS Changes ================================================================================ 1.
