Updating BMC FirmwareUpdating ftServer System Firmware 3-5a character file rather than a binary file. You can detect such corruption bycomputing a checksum with the md5sum command before and after copying. Arepeated BIOS burn failure is likely to be caused by a command syntax error or byusing a damaged or inappropriate BIOS image file.10. If it is necessary to update the BMC firmware, follow the procedure described in‘‘Updating BMC Firmware’’ on page 3-5.11. If you now need to update the Linux operating system and Express Builder, placethe Express Builder CD in the upper CD-ROM drive and reboot. See the ReleaseNotes: Express5800/ftServer for the Linux Operating System and Chapter 2 foroperating system update procedures.Updating BMC FirmwareEach I/O element contains a socketed Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) chip.Firmware updates are provided on a bootable CD-ROM.To check the BMC firmware version, type the following command:# /opt/ft/bin/ftsmaint ls 10/120...Firmware Rev : 7.0.0The preceding example displays a BMC firmware version number of 7.0.0 forCPU element 0.C A U T I O NC A U T I O N! Do not interrupt a BMC firmware update with a burn inprogress. Interrupting power can result in EEPROMdamage or corrupted BMC firmware that requires fieldservice or replacement I/O elements to recover.To update the BMC firmware from a CD1. Insert the ExpressBuilder for Linux CD in the CD-ROM drive in the CPU-I/Oenclosure whose power button is lit.2. Log on to the system as root.3. Mount the CD-ROM drive by typing the following command:# mount /media/cdrecorder
