Upgrading the BIOS The upgrade utility allows you to upgrade the BIOS in flash memory. The code and data in the upgrade file include the following: • On-board system BIOS, including the recovery code, BIOS Setup utility, and strings. • On-board video BIOS and other option ROMs for devices embedded on the server board. • OEM binary area • Microcode • A way to change the BIOS language When you perform an upgrade to your BIOS, the upgrade is performed into a secondary BIOS partition on specialized server board hardware. When you boot your server, the system checks for an upgraded BIOS in this secondary partition. If it finds a BIOS upgrade has been installed, it attempts to boot with the new BIOS. If it encounters a problem with the upgraded BIOS, the system reverts to the BIOS that was in place before the upgrade was performed. This provides a safeguard against problems that might happen during the upgrade, such as a power outage during the upgrade process. This is called the rolling BIOS feature.
