Hi all,
I am still working on my QCT D51PH-1ULH. I was able to update the BMC to version 3.58. This reset the password and I wasable to access it. Great news.
The BIOS that was installed when I purchased the server was 3B08.06. I attempted to upgrade to 3B14 following the instructions for windows x64. See below. Steps 1-4 seem to work fine. After running BIOS_win64.cmd, I get back to the prompt.
I execute step 5, and the server crashes. I try and do steps 7 and 8 to no avail. I must reflash the BIOS back to version 3B04 via BMC to get the server to respond. Unfortunately, I don't have a copy of 3B08.06.
If anyone could share some insight into my issue, it would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Bob
For x64 Windows environment, follow the below steps to update both BIOS and ME FW:
(1) Power on the system and boot into Windows OS.
(2) Unzip the release package to the same folder in the HDD.
(3) Open Command Prompt, change to the folder with release package located.
(4) Execute batch file BIOS_win64.cmd to update BIOS.
(5) Execute batch file ME_win64.cmd to update ME FW.
(6) After the update finished, perform an DC cycle, the new BIOS/ME FW runs.
(7) Then, please enter setup, press <F9> to load default and save before any test run.
