Monthly Specification Update Enterprise Platforms and Services Marketing Implication Status Workaround HSC and BMC information is not easily found. This erratum is fixed in BIOS release R0057 and later releases. Users must use the DOS utility, "fwpiaupd.exe" to probe and get the backplane HSC information. Boot to DOS and using the fwpiaupd.exe utility,that is used to flash the BMC and HSC code onto the server system, enter the following command fwpiaupd -i -address={c0, c2} where c0 is the primary backplane address and c2 is the secondary backplane address. This provides you with the operational code revision for the HSC on each backplane. To retrieve the BMC version information, use the same "fwpiaupdt.exe" utility with the following command: fwpiaupdt -i -address=20 20.
