## How to Upgrade the System BIOS and ILOM Firmware

Note - In the instructions that follow, example dialog screen shots have been provided as a reference. Information displayed in each dialog may differ depending on your server model.

1. You should have already started SIA and prepared it for tasks as described in Starting SIA and Preparing for Deployment or Recovery Tasks and the Task Selection dialog should be displayed.

   Note - The instructions below assume local CD/DVD drive access. Be sure to modify the instructions accordingly if you are using a local USB flash drive prepared with SIA software, or if you are running SIA from a remote console (or KVMS) with CD-ROM redirection.

2. Select the System BIOS and ILOM Upgrade task, and then click Next.

   SIA compares the system BIOS and ILOM versions on the server against the available BIOS and ILOM versions in the current SIA session.

3. If there is a later version of code available, click Next to begin the upgrade.

   Follow the on-screen instructions until the upgrade has completed. Upgraded code will not be used by the system until after a reboot.
