Server firmware file type details
• When you update the system ROM, you must use a signed image or the signed ROMPAQ image:
◦ Signed image example:
http://<server.example.com:8080>/<wwwroot>/P79_1.00_10_25_2013.signed.flash
◦ Signed ROMPAQ image example:
http://<server.example.com>/<wwwroot>/CPQPJ0612.A48
• The Power Management Controller, chassis firmware, and NVMe backplane files use the file
extension .hex. For example, the file name might be similar to ABCD5S95.hex.
• The System Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) firmware file uses the file extension .vme.
