8.1 Force Integrated BMC Update (J6B1)
When performing a standard BMC firmware update procedure, the update utility places the
BMC into an update mode, allowing the firmware to load safely onto the flash device. In the
unlikely event the BMC firmware update process fails due to the BMC not being in the proper
update state, the server board provides a BMC Force Update jumper (J6B1) which will force the
BMC into the proper update state. The following procedure should be followed in the event the
standard BMC firmware update process fails.

Steps to perform the Force Integrated BMC Update:
1. Power down and remove the AC power cord.
2. Open the server chassis. See your server chassis documentation for instructions.
3. Move jumper from the default operating position, covering pins 1 and 2, to the enabled
position, covering pins 2 and 3.
4. Close the server chassis.
5. Reconnect the AC cord and power up the server.
6. Perform the BMC firmware update procedure as documented in the ReleaseNote.TXT
file included in the given BMC firmware update package. After successful completion of
the firmware update process, the firmware update utility may generate an error stating
the BMC is still in update mode.
7. Power down and remove the AC power cord.
8. Open the server chassis.
9. Move the jumper from the enabled position, covering pins 2 and 3 to the disabled
position, covering pins 1 and 2.
10. Close the server chassis.
11. Reconnect the AC cord and power up the server.
Note: Normal BMC functionality is disabled with the Force BMC Update jumper is set to the
enabled position. You should never run the server with the BMC Force Update jumper set in this
