## How to Verify the ILOM and BIOS Firmware Versions Using the Command—Line Interface Through the Management Ethernet Port

1. Connect an RJ-45 Ethernet cable to the NET MGT Ethernet port on the back panel.
2. Establish an SSH connection using the following command, and then enter the default password (`changeme`) when you are prompted:

   `#` `ssh —l root` sp_ip_address

   `changeme`

   After you have successfully logged in, the SP displays its default command prompt:

   `->`

3. To view the ILOM version information, type:

   `version`

   This command returns input similar to the following:

       SP firmware 2.0.2.16
       SP firmware build number: 42063
       SP firmware date: Mon Feb  9 22:45:34 PST 2009
       SP filesystem version: 0.1.16

4. To view the BIOS version, type:

   `show /SYS/MB/BIOS`

   The command returns input similar to the following:

        /SYS/MB/BIOS
           Targets:

           Properties:
               type = BIOS
               fru_name = SYSTEM BIOS
               fru_description = SYSTEM BIOS
               fru_manufacturer = AMERICAN MEGATRENDS
               fru_version = 0ABMN052
               fru_part_number = AMIBIOS8

           Commands:
               cd
               show

   The fru_version field contains the BIOS version number.

5. Note the ILOM and BIOS versions on the Firmware Versions Worksheet.
