Configuring the 1005r BIOS and firmware

The Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) of your 1005r server is flash ROM-based code. Upgrade or reconfigure the BIOS using the utilities on the CallPilot Image DVD. The utility programs write updated code to the Flash ROM chips. For information about the BIOS settings, see “BIOS settings” on page 190. The following table shows the latest BIOS and firmware versions.

Figure 59: BIOS and firmware versions

Description	Version

System board BIOS	87
FRU/SDR	Nortel customized based on Intel
	FRU/SDR 6.55
BMC	0.50

Upgrading the BIOS and firmware is a four step process:

1Boot off the Image DVD and display the Image Menu.

2Update the BIOS firmware.

3Update the FRU/SDR firmware.

4Update the BMC firmware.
