BMC Force Update (J7A2)
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 board provides a BMC Force Update jumper (J7A2) which will force
the BMC into the proper update state. The following procedure should be followed in the
event the standard BMC firmware update process fails.

Steps to perform Force BMC Update:
1.
Plug out the compute module.
2.
Remove the air duct. See the
Service Guide
for instructions.
3.
Move the jumper (J7A2) from the default operating position (covering pins1 and 2) to
the enabled position (covering pins 2 and 3).
4.
Restore the air duct to the compute module.
5.
Insert the compute module back to the chassis.
6.
Power on the compute module by pressing the power button on the front panel.
7.
Perform the BMC firmware update procedure as documented in the
Release Note
s
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.
8.
Power down and plug out the compute module.
9.
Remove the air duct.
10.
Move the jumper from the enabled position (covering pins 2 and 3) to the disabled
position (covering pins 1 and 2).
11.
Restore the air duct to the compute module.
12.
Plug in the compute module back to the chassis and power up the server.
Note:
Normal BMC functionality is disabled with the Force BMC Update jumper is set to the
enabled position. You should never run the server with the BMC Force Update jumper set in this
position. You should only use this jumper setting when the standard firmware update process
fails. This jumper should remain in the default/disabled position when the server is running
normally.
