If the flash update fails for reasons of security compliance, a different message will be
displayed:
Error: BIOS or ME update failure – the capsule file failed in the
security compliance check. Please refer to BIOS Release Notes for
details.
7. In order to properly complete the BIOS Update process, the system must perform a
shutdown – DC power-off – then DC power-on and boot successfully to the EFI Shell or
an OS environment.
In order to restore customer-determined BIOS setting defaults, another procedure is required
after the BIOS update is successful:
1. Boot to the EFI Shell on the system just updated, and keep the external media with
IFlash32 to it.
2. Go to the directory where iflash32.efi is present on the external medium.
3. Run the command iflash32 –rd “[AdminPassword]” where
-rd = restore customer-determined BIOS setting defaults
[AdminPassword] = BIOS Administer Password only if BIOS Administer Password was
set.
4. Reset the system and the instruction returns success.
If there is a power loss during the IFlash32 BIOS Update:
 Try rebooting to the EFI Shell. If that is successful, restart the BIOS Update.
 If the boot to the EFI Shell fails, perform a Recovery Boot (see Section 9.6) using the
Recovery capsule from the previously installed BIOS, that is, the BIOS version before
the update.
Refer to the BIOS Release Notes and the IFlash32 program Release Notes for the most
complete and accurate information, as well as additional information on the WinPE* version of
IFlash32.
9.5.2 OS-Running BIOS Flash Update
The “One-Boot Flash Update” (OFU) Firmware Update Utility is an application program which
can update the system BIOS while the system is in an “OS Running” state, so there is no need
to take the system out of service to perform a BIOS update.
The OFU utility can actually update the ME, BMC, and SDR firmware as well as the BIOS. OFU
is supported for both Windows and Linux (certain versions). It uses the BIOS capsule file for the
BIOS update.
This utility requires that “Plug & Play BMC Detection” must be enabled in the Server
Management tab in Setup (see Figure 32), and drivers must be installed depending on OS
version. Refer to the One-Boot Flash Update program Release Notes for information on how to
use it in different OS environments.
