• System Programmable Logic Device (CPLD)
• Backplane
• Innovation Engine (IE)
• Server Platform Services (SPS)
• Language Packs
Some firmware types are delivered as a combined update. For example:
• A SAS Programmable Logic Device update is often combined with a SAS controller firmware update.
• The Intelligent Platform Abstraction Data firmware is often combined with a System ROM/BIOS update.
Requirements for firmware update to take eect
Depending on the firmware type, additional action might be required for the update to take eect.
• iLO firmware or language pack—These firmware types take eect after an automatically triggered iLO reset.
• System ROM (BIOS)—Requires a server reboot.
• Chassis firmware (Power Management) and Edgeline Chassis Controller Firmware—Take eect immediately.
• System Programmable Logic Device (CPLD)—Requires a server reboot.
• Power Management Controller and NVMe Backplane Firmware—Do not require a server reboot or a system reset.
The NVMe firmware version will be displayed in the iLO web interface after the next server reboot.
• Innovation Engine (IE) and Server Platform Services (SPS)—These firmware types require that you power o the server
before installation. The changes take eect after you power on the server.
Obtaining the iLO firmware image file
You can download the iLO firmware image file and use it to update a single server or multiple servers in a group.
The BIN file from the iLO Online ROM Flash Component is required for updating the iLO firmware with the Flash Firmware or
Group Firmware Update features.
