4.7Identifying BIOS and BMC Revision Levels

The following sections provide information to help identify a system's current BIOSand BMC revision levels.

4.7.1BIOS Revision Level Identification

During system POST, which runs automatically when the system is powered on, the monitor displays several messages, one of which identifies the BIOS revision level currently loaded on the system (see the following example).

Phoenix BIOS 4.0 Release 6.0.250A

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

Note: Press the Esc key to see the diagnostic messages.

Note: The BIOS Revision Level stated in the example might not reflect the actual BIOS setting in any particular system.

4.7.2BMC Revision Level Identification

During system POST, which runs automatically when the system is powered on, system diagnostics are run. Following the memory test diagnostic, several messages appear to inform the user that the mouse was detected and system configuration data updated. The BMC messages follow these.

To identify the system's current BMCrevision level, see the following example.

Result:

 

In the example above, Firmware Revision 00.60 is the current BMC revision level loaded on the system.

Note: Press the Esc key to see the diagnostic messages.

Note: The Firmware Revision level in the example might not reflect the actual BMC revision level in any particular system.
