8. To begin the firmware upgrade, begin at step 3 of "Updating the firmware image using the
Onboard Administrator CLI (on page 14)" and continue following the instructions.
The pass-thru module firmware is available as a URL
(http://OA_IP_Address/media/usbkey/d1/filename) at the active Onboard Administrator IP
address with a path based on the d# command in the show usbkey response. In the URL, substitute
the following:
o Replace OA_IP_Address with the actual Onboard Administrator IP address
o Replace d1 with the actual d#
o Replace filename with the pass-thru filename
Then, substitute the new URL in step 15.
Updating the 10GbE Pass-Thru Module firmware
using the pass-thru serial port
NOTE: Downloading firmware through the pass-thru serial port is not the preferred method for
upgrading a firmware image.
Performing a serial firmware image download
If you are upgrading a pass-thru module directly from any existing operating system or boot code image,
perform a serial download of the pass-thru module operating system firmware or boot code firmware.
This procedure requires:
• A computer running terminal emulation software
• 10GbE Pass-Thru Module operating system firmware or boot code images
Updating the firmware image using the serial port
CAUTION: The pass-thru module automatically reboots after the firmware update, which
disrupts all server traffic on all ports on this pass-thru module. The server blades can be
powered on while this pass-thru module firmware is updated, but they lose connectivity while
the firmware reboots on each pass-thru module.
CAUTION: Do not power off the pass-thru module during the download process. Doing so will
require you to power cycle the pass-thru module. Power cycling requires a successful image
download before the pass-thru module is operable.
