AOCFlash Target BIOS version 1.69. 1. Installed Windows 2003 on the server! However at this point Dell updates for windows would not work throwing incompatibility error. 2. From Dell website downloaded Floppy ESM firmware v 1.28. (ESM - Embedded Server management - BMC)3. Copied it to a bootable DOS Floppy .IMG image file and attached it as remote media through BMC console. There are two folders KCSFlash and SOCFlash in that floppy. I used firmware from SOCFlash. I do not remember exactly, but I think I flashed it with SOCFlash/dos/flash8.bat At this poing BMC resets and its NIC has to be set to SHARED mode and IP address configured again.4. Than power cycle the whole chassis. (After each firmware flash, the BMC has to be powered off or it will be unstable)5. Now downloaded the Floppy BIOS v1.69, copied it to the same bootable DOS image file and attached it again as remote media. The FBIOS.BAT would not work. Error: Incompatible ROM ID (or something like that) You have to execute the following command: afudos 6100v169.ROM /p /b /n /c /x The /x switch tells it to skip ROM ID compatibility check. The BIOS flashed successfully and BMC worked but when I went to system BIOS and saved it the BMC configuration disappeared and could not be set anymore. I would type IP click save but after reboot, it was not there.
