USB memory stick containing the extracted multi-boot image.
2. Run the script update.bat.
3. Verify the firmware installation as described in “Determining the Installed
Firmware Version” on page 3-34.
To update firmware on UEFI-based servers:
1. Boot the server into the UEFI shell using an in-built shell or a third-party
UEFI shell from a USB memory stick containing the adapter multi-boot
image.
2. Run the script update.nsh.
3. Verify the firmware installation as described in “Determining the Installed
Firmware Version” on page 3-34.
