FWUpdate command from within the Embedded UEFI Shell
For systems configured in either boot mode, update the firmware:
1. Access the System ROM Flash Binary component for your node from the Hewlett Packard
Enterprise Support Center website (http://www.hpe.com/support/hpesc). When searching for the
component, always select OS Independent to locate the binary file.
2. Copy the binary file to a USB media or iLO virtual media.
3. Attach the media to the node.
4. Boot to Embedded Shell.
5. To obtain the assigned file system volume for the USB key, enter Map –r . For more information
about accessing a file system from the shell, see the HPE UEFI Shell User Guide for HPE ProLiant
Gen9 Servers on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (http://www.hpe.com/info/uefi/docs).
6. Change to the file system that contains the System ROM Flash Binary component for your node.
Enter one of the fsx file systems available, such as fs0 or fs1, and press Enter.
7. Use the cd command to change from the current directory to the directory that contains the binary
file.
8. Enter fwupdate –d BIOS -f <filename> to flash the system ROM.
For help on the FWUPDATE command, enter the command:
help fwupdate -b
9. Reboot the node. A reboot is required after the firmware update for the updates to take effect and for
hardware stability to be maintained.
For more information about the commands used in this procedure, see the HPE UEFI Shell User Guide
for HPE ProLiant Gen9 Servers on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website
(http://www.hpe.com/info/uefi/docs).

Online Flash components
This component provides updated system firmware that can be installed directly on supported operating
systems. Additionally, when used in conjunction with the HP SUM ("HP Smart Update Manager" on page
154), this Smart Component allows the user to update firmware on remote servers from a central location.
This remote deployment capability eliminates the need for the user to be physically present at the server
to perform a firmware update.
