Updating BIOS - System ROM on ML110 G2 without floppy

Justin Schimnowski — Fri, 27 Jan 2006 13:26:34 GMT

I have a ML110 G2 without a floppy drive. Is there any way to update without installing a floppy in the machine?

KOV, there isn't an online update listed for the ML110 G2 for either WS03 or W2K.

I wondered about online updates or the ProLiant Firmware Update CD, but it doesn't appear to be supported with the ML110 G2.

Is it safe to use a boot diskette (Systems ROMPaq Firmware Upgrade Diskette) in a USB floppy drive to update the BIOS?

If you have the optional iLO-Board you can do this with the virtual floppy.
And yes, an USB-Floppy will do, with the iLO-Board installed it's the only way.

I think you can do this with SOCET GXP.
