FWUPDATE utility
The FWUPDATE utility enables you to upgrade the system firmware (BIOS).
To use the utility to upgrade the firmware:
- Download the FWUPDATE flash component from the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Support Center website.
- Save the FWUPDATE flash components to a USB key.
- Set the boot order so that the USB key will boot first using one of the following options:
- Configure the boot order so that the USB key is the first bootable device.
- Press the F11 key (Boot Menu) when prompted during system boot to access the One-Time Boot Menu. This menu allows you to select the boot device for a specific boot and does not modify the boot order configuration settings.
- Insert the USB key into an available USB port.
- Boot the system.
The FWUPDATE utility checks the system and provides a choice (if more than one exists) of available firmware revisions.
To download the flash components, see the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Support Center website.
