Re: Firmware upgrade
You asked this before, right?
It is probably a BL860c i2 with bundle 26.11 installed (around 2011).
Get the files (for windows or linux) from web (registration required), run HP SUM on a PC or whatever and update the firmware.
Current bundles include blade, OA and VC firmware.
Just follow the instructions!
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

Re: Firmware upgrade
You probably need to update the smart array controller and mezzanine card firmware separately (prefered directly from EFI). You will find the files in the download section f the server. Don't forget to update the OA as well and the blade interconnects.
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.
