Cisco UCS C-Series Servers Upgrade Guide for Intel Xeon v3 Series CPUs
Minimum Software and Firmware Requirements
Use the procedures in the Cisco UCS C-Series Integrated Management Controller GUI Configuration
Guide for your release.
Caution When you install new BIOS firmware, it must be from the same software release as the Cisco IMC
firmware running on the server. Do not install new BIOS firmware until after you have activated the
matching Cisco IMC firmware or the server will not boot.
Step 8 While logged in as administrator, use the Cisco IMC GUI to install the BIOS minimum version for your
server (or later).
Use the procedures in the Cisco UCS C-Series Integrated Management Controller GUI Configuration
Guide for your release.
Note If you use a method other than the Cisco Host Upgrade Utility to update the standalone server’s Cisco
IMC firmware, you must also manually initiate a low-level firmware upgrade. See Low-Level Firmware
Requirements, page 2.
