Cisco UCS C460 M4 Minimum Software and Firmware Requirements
The minimum software and firmware versions required for the Cisco UCS C460 M4 server to support
Intel Xeon E7-4800 or E7-8800 v3 Series EX CPUs are as follows:
Low-Level Firmware Requirements
Note You will be directed to this section from the upgrade procedures only for cases in which you are not using
the Cisco Host Upgrade Utility or Cisco UCS Manager to upgrade the server firmware.
Low-level server firmware controls server components such as the power sequencer, field-programmable
gate arrays (FPGAs), and power supply units (PSUs).
Note The low-level firmware must be up-to-date before you upgrade the CPU hardware.
If you update the server BIOS and Cisco IMC management firmware by using the Cisco Host Upgrade
Utility (HUU) or the Cisco UCS Manager as directed in these procedures, the low-level firmware is
updated automatically. If you use any other method such as the Cisco IMC interface, you must manually
initiate the low-level firmware update.
• Initiating a Low-Level Firmware Update Using the Cisco IMC GUI interface, page 2
• Initiating a Low-Level Firmware Update Using the Cisco IMC CLI interface, page 3
Initiating a Low-Level Firmware Update Using the Cisco IMC GUI interface
Step 1 Log into the GUI interface for the server by using a browser and the IP address that was assigned to the
server.
Step 2 If not already powered on, power on the server by using the GUI interface.
Step 3 Power off the server by using the GUI interface.
• If the server’s low-level firmware is not up-to-date, a dialog appears with the following message:
Table 1 Cisco UCS C460 M4 Minimum Requirements for Intel Xeon v3 CPUs
Software or Firmware Minimum Version
Server Cisco IMC 2.0(6)
Server BIOS 2.0(6)
Low-level server firmware Updated automatically when Cisco IMC is updated using Cisco
Host Upgrade Utility or Cisco UCS Manager. Otherwise, check for
“update available” message as described in Low-Level Firmware
Requirements, page 2.
