In the unlikely event the BMC firmware update process fails due to the BMC not being in the proper update state, the server boards provide a Force BMC Update jumper (J1H1) that forces the BMC into the proper update state. In the event the standard BMC firmware update process fails, complete the following procedure: 1. Power down and remove the AC power cord. 2. Open the server chassis. See your server chassis documentation for instructions. 3. Move the jumper (J1H1) from the default operating position (covering pins 1 and 2) to the enabled position (covering pins 2 and 3). 4. Close the server chassis. 5. Reconnect the AC power cord and power up the server. 6. Perform the BMC firmware update procedure as documented in the Update_Instruction.txt file included in the given BMC firmware update package. After successful completion of the firmware update process, the firmware update utility may generate an error stating the BMC is still in update mode. 7. Power down and remove the AC power cord. 8.

Reconnect the AC power cord and power up the server. 6. Perform the BIOS Recovery procedure as documented in the BIOS release notes. 7. After successful completion of the BIOS recovery, the "BIOS has been updated successfully" message displays. 120 Revision 1.8 Intel order number E39529-013

Force BMC Update Procedure
When performing a standard BMC firmware update procedure, the update utility places the
BMC into an update mode, allowing the firmware to load safely onto the flash device. In the
unlikely event the BMC firmware update process fails due to the BMC not being in the proper
update state, the server boards provide a Force BMC Update jumper (J1H1) that forces the
BMC into the proper update state. In the event the standard BMC firmware update process fails,
complete the following procedure:
1.
Power down and remove the AC power cord.
2.
Open the server chassis. See your server chassis documentation for instructions.
3.
Move the jumper (J1H1) from the default operating position (covering pins 1 and 2) to
the enabled position (covering pins 2 and 3).
4. Close the server chassis.
5.
Reconnect the AC power cord and power up the server.
6.
Perform the BMC firmware update procedure as documented in the
Update_Instruction.txt file included in the given BMC firmware update package. After
successful completion of the firmware update process, the firmware update utility may
generate an error stating the BMC is still in update mode.
7.
Power down and remove the AC power cord.
8. Open the server chassis.
9.
Move the jumper (J1H1) from the enabled position (covering pins 2 and 3) to the
disabled position (covering pins 1 and 2).
10. Close the server chassis.
11. Reconnect the AC power cord and power up the server.
Note:
When the Force BMC Update jumper is set to the enabled position, normal BMC
functionality is disabled. You should never run the server with the Force BMC Update jumper
set in this position. You should only use this jumper setting when the standard firmware update
process fails. When the server is running normally, this jumper must remain in the
default/disabled position.
7.3
BIOS Recovery Jumper
1.
Power down the system and remove the AC power cord.
2.
Open the server chassis. See your server chassis documentation for instructions.
3.
Move the BIOS recovery jumper (J1E5) from the default operating position (covering
pins 1 and 2) to the enabled position (covering pins 2 and 3).
4. Close the server chassis.
5.
Reconnect the AC power cord and power up the server.
6.
Perform the BIOS Recovery procedure as documented in the BIOS release notes.
7.
After successful completion of the BIOS recovery, the “BIOS has been updated
successfully” message displays.
