Software Updates
Your system comes with preinstalled system BIOS and BMC firmware. When necessary, updates
will be available for download from the Intel support website at:
http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/SCB2
The updates are available in two forms:
• A software update package (SUP) containing all three updates
• Individual files, one for each update, that are manually executed
With either form, bootable diskettes must be created.
Creating a Bootable Diskette
Each update diskette created must be made bootable with ROM-DOS Ver. 6.22 or MS-DOS
Ver. 6.22.
