Updating firmware

To update the firmware:

1. Check the firmware version on the device.
2. Determine the latest firmware version available.
3. If a TPM is installed and enabled on the server, disable BitLocker™ before updating the firmware. For more information, see the operating system documentation.
4. Update the firmware to the current version supported for the hardware configuration.
5. Verify the firmware update by checking the firmware version.
6. If a TPM is installed and enabled on the server, enable BitLocker™ after the firmware update is complete. For more information, see the operating system documentation.

Several tools are available for updating firmware. HP recommends the following methods:

• ROMPaq utility
• HP Smart Update Manager (HP Smart Update Manager deployment, HP Smart Update Manager)
• Online ROM flash components
• ROM Update Utility

  The ROM update utility is being replaced by the HP Smart Update Manager on the Firmware Maintenance CD version 7.50 and later.

For manual firmware updates, download the current firmware from the HP website.
