How do I update the bios? It is not a window server but a pfsense router (FreeBSD).
My model # 866965-S01.

Assuming you have iLO enabled, you can update the BIOS in iLO: https://techlibrary.hpe.com/docs/iss/DL380_Gen9/setup_install/GUID-646B66EE-59F6-4916-B4D9-5A509E1090F3.html

I never used iLO before. Can I still brick the server?

iLO will not brick your server.

However, you will need to configure iLO in the BIOS/UEFI setup before you can use it, assuming if you never used it before. This will mean connecting a monitor to your server, and taking it down while you configure iLO.

Oh, that makes sense.

In that case, if you want to update the BIOS, if supported by the ML10, you should probably use a Linux Live USB to update the BIOS.

You could also use Windows To Go or another Windows Live USB but I mostly develop C#/.NET on Windows/Azure for a living while using Linux at home, and am no Windows expert.

Thank for ur comment. At home, I am running a pfsense router built on FreeBSD and no longer have a service contract to download bios firmware.

Does HP posts their bIos for free?

HPE does not openly publish BIOS updates for Gen9 or lower, but does for Gen10 and up. HPE also posts iLO for all servers.

I could download Gen10 BIOS updates fine.
