Updating Enclosure

pepps1976 — Tue, 01 Feb 2011 12:16:35 GMT

Hi I am looking to update my enclosure because firmware etc is a couple of years old here is the information i was asked for

current ILO 1.61 Aug 31 2008
BIOS I15 11/02/2008
ONBoard Admin = 2.31

Is it safe just to upgrade to the latest Firmware using the update CD?

Thanks

John

since ther eis OA, i assume is a C-Class.
is that shorty or the normal one?

i upgraded the normal one a couple of times and it worked, solving prior problems on fans and power management.

HTH, bye.

The best method is to download

Smart Update Firmware DVD
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=pl&prodTypeId=3709945&prodSeriesId=1842750&prodNameId=3288156&swEnvOID=4049&swLang=8&mode=2&taskId=135&swItem=MTX-98ce7a50a19a4d4994aaad8d0e

and create the bootable USB key to upgrade firmwares.
