Updating CMC rmware from iDRAC

In the PowerEdge FX2/FX2s chassis, you can update the rmware for the Chassis Management Controller and any component that can

be updated by CMC and shared by the servers from iDRAC.

Before applying the update, make sure that:

• Servers are not allowed to power-up by CMC.

• Chassis with LCD must display a message indicating “update is in-progress”.

• Chassis without LCD must indicate the update progress using LED blinking pattern.

• During the update, chassis action power commands are disabled.

The updates for components such as Programmable System-on-Chip (PSoC) of IOM that requires all the servers to be idle, the update is

applied on the next chassis power-up cycle.
