WARNING
To properly upgrade your firmware, do not interrupt the process until the process is

Reset the Firmware
After the IPMI firmware upgrade, you must login to the CLI and reset the settings to the factory defaults. This function:
l Only allows access to the IPMI IP address through https.
l Disables the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) so you can set the IPMI to use a static IP address. A
static IP allows administrators to create firewall rules and monitor usage of this system.
l Sets IPMI LAN interface to Dedicated so that the IPMI must run in a dedicated IPMI-only LAN.
