How to Identify BIOS and BMC Revision Levels

To help you identify your system's current BIOS and BMC revision levels, refer to the following subsections.

BIOS Revision Level Identification

During system Power-On Self Test (POST), which runs automatically when your system is powered on, your system monitor displays several messages, one of which identifies the BIOS revision level currently loaded on your system, see the example below.

Note: In order to see the diagnostic messages, the ESC key must be pressed.

Example: BIOS Revision Level

Phoenix BIOS 4.0 Release 6.0.250A

In the example above, BIOS 6.0.250A is the current BIOS revision level loaded on your system.

Note: The BIOS Revision Level stated in the example may not reflect the actual BIOS setting in your system.

BMC Revision Level Identification

During system Power-On Self Test (POST), which runs automatically when your system is powered on, system diagnostics are run. Following the memory test diagnostic, several messages will appear informing you that the mouse was detected and system configuration data updated, when you see these messages the BMC messages are displayed next.

Note: In order to see the diagnostic messages, the ESC key must be pressed.

To identify your system's current BMC revision level, see the example below. Example: BMC Messages
