Download this program.

Run it from a windows server installed in a p-class blade enclosure.

It can upgrade all blade and power enclosures connected together with those (usually) blue RJ45 cables. Check all your power enclosures are connected to the blade enclosures or they will not get the firmware upgrade.

There are 2 ways I know of.

1) insight manager will show you the rack view.

2) you can go to the ilo of a server in the enclosure and click on BL p-class tab. From there you can see rack view which gives you details of each enclosure in that rack of blades.
