Proliant ML110 Gen9 Bios

[Patrick0525]

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?

[neelc]

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.

I guess this the correct link for my ML10 Gen9
Bios firmware. Am I correct?

Cannot do iLO. Not supported on M10 Gen9.
I corrected the tittle.

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?

[neelc]

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.

[Patrick0525]

Thank u for your response which explains ml10 gen9 bios situation.

[neelc]

No problem!
