Supermicro Bios Password / Softlayer

[XeonSam]

I know this is an old post but I'm having problems with the same OEMs (Softlayer).

It's a X11 though and these instructions don't seem to work in regards to updating BIOS or BMC. I get error messages in UEFI shell, IPMI and in DOS. I know as of X11, you can't use DOS anymore to update the firmware (BIOS), however, reseting the IPMI password works very well. The default password works now; just no BIOS or BMC updates.

Does anyone have experience with these systems?

Server: SYS-6019U-TN4R4T

error msg ?
the BMC may use different valuation keys for the BIOS verifications.
flashing the BMC and BIOS with usb programmer is required.

is the board X11DPU or X11DPU-XLL or X11DPU-Z ?

I know as of X11, you can't use DOS anymore to update the firmware (BIOS),

the SM downloads for BMC iclude still AdUpdate.exe, AwUpdate.exe
Afaik X11DPU is not a RoT system.
