Adapter Firmware

A Cisco UCS C-Series network adapter contains the following firmware components:

•Adapter firmware—The main operating firmware, consisting of an active and a backup image, can be installed from the CIMC GUI or CLI interface or from the Host Upgrade Utility (HUU). You can upload a firmware image from either a local file system or a TFTP server.

•Bootloader firmware—The bootloader firmware cannot be installed from the CIMC GUI or CLI. You can install this firmware using the Host Upgrade Utility.

Installing Adapter Firmware

Important If any firmware or BIOS updates are in progress, do not install the adapter firmware until those tasks are complete.
