the firmware component.
• In the Remote file URL box, enter the URL for a firmware component on an accessible web server.

5 exists in the System Recovery Set, select the Update
Recovery Set check box to replace the existing component with the selected component.
Selecting this option replaces the component, even if the version in the System Recovery Set is newer.
If there is no System Recovery Set, or you are not assigned the required privilege for this action, then this option is not
displayed.
When you select this option, the Also store in iLO Repository option is selected automatically, because the System
Recovery set is stored in the iLO Repository.

select the Confirm TPM override check box.
Drive encryption software is an example of software that stores information on the TPM or TM.
CAUTION: If you use drive encryption software, suspend it before initiating a firmware update. Failure to follow
these instructions might result in losing access to your data.
