System BIOS SPI Flash

 

 

Loading flash memory requires a vendor-provided firmware file and loader program which is

 

 

 

 

 

 

executed by booting up the system from a floppy or OS-based executable containing the

 

 

 

firmware file and the loader. System loaded with arbitrary data in firmware memory will not

 

 

 

operate.

 

 

 

 

LOM Configuration

 

 

Loading flash memory requires a vendor-provided firmware file and loader program which is

Data

 

 

executed by booting the system from a floppy or OS-based executable containing the

 

 

 

firmware file and the loader. LOMs loaded with arbitrary data in firmware memory will not

 

 

 

operate.

System CPLD

 

 

Loading flash memory requires a vendor-provided firmware file and loader program which is

 

 

 

executed by booting the system from a floppy or OS-based executable (currently only DRMK

 

 

 

utility support) containing the firmware file and the loader. A system loaded with arbitrary

 

 

 

data in CPLD memory will not operate.

iDRAC6 Express

 

 

iDRAC OS: Loading flash memory requires a vendor-provided firmware file and loader program

Internal Flash

 

 

which is executed by booting the system from a floppy or OS-based executable containing the

 

 

 

firmware file and the loader. System loaded without a good iDRAC firmware image yields a

 

 

 

non-functional iDRAC.

 

 

 

Managed Services Repository: Various partitions are loaded via vendor-provided firmware file

 

 

 

and loader program just like iDRAC OS.

TPM ID EEPROM (Plug

 

 

 

 

in module only)

 

 

Factory load only

 

 

 

 

 

TPM Binding EEPROM

 

 

 

 

(on China planar

 

 

 

 

only)

iDRAC6 SDRAM

 

 

Embedded iDRAC OS for 108MB and 8MB for VGA frame buffer

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

iDRAC6 FRU

 

 

Factory and iDRAC embedded OS

 

 

 

 

iDRAC6 Boot Block

 

 

Loading flash memory requires a vendor-provided firmware file and loader program which is

Flash

 

 

executed by booting the system from a floppy or OS-based executable or out-of-band

 

 

 

firmware updates across the management network. Bad content makes the iDRAC inoperable

 

 

 

and is unrecoverable in the customer environment. The lifecycle log is automatically updated

 

 

 

by the iDRAC as various system component firmware, hardware, and software versions are

 

 

 

changed.
