• Update the BIOS of powerage dell 2950 through an ESXi installation

  I'm not sure of the best way to update the bios of a Dell 2950 powerage on which I have a facilities of ESXi 3.5 u2.

  I have two virtual machines running.

  Dell has a "Update Package for Microsoft® Windows®" (PE2900_BIOS_WIN_2.1.0.EXE) which, in my opinion, can update the bios from a windows OS.

  I had to do some research, but I posted instructions on how to upgrade your Dell server running ESXi through records of SUU. Here are the instructions... I do before putting all servers in production, and after the shooting of any old material off the rack before stopping their production, never had a problem.

  Here's my process to update ESXi (dell of course hardware) servers.

  1 Download DVD Dell Software Update Utilitly, its 1.9 GB disc. (if you have a dvd player on your server, you can directly boot from this drive but if you had a CD player in your continuous server, or if you want to store the files of rep on a USB drive below eye).

  2. extract the contents of the iso (winrar), so a lot of my servers arrived with

  just for the readers of CD so I take a USB stick and loading JUST the 'repository '.

  folder from the disk update utility, which is about 1.2 GB of update

  files.

  3. then download the CD version of Dell Software Update Utility, it

  will have all the updates for the DVD and dell does not have up-to-date

  but that's fine, boot from that disk.

  4 start the CD, to the start screen select Update utility, wait 15-20

  "mins for linux to load, display, select Update ' updates are

  Located on a usb drive ", put your USB key with the storage folder"

  on it, then hit, which makes search updates, show what is necessary and

  You can update.

  5. install and start.

• Portege R600 - cannot update the BIOS using Win server 2008

  Hi all.

  Pls help...

  I tried to update my bios to the new version, but I can't.

  I just downloaded bios update of the toshiba site for portage r600 for my model number (bios update 1.80 - winner), I unzip the zip, run the exe, but error popup came:

  Package for the TOSHIBA BIOS ver.3.2.9
  Unsupported product type is installed.
  Package BIOS BIOS Version: Ver.1.80
  Current BIOS version: Ver.1.40

  So my question is what am I doing wrong? I'm trying to update my bios from windows.

  is my version of windows: windows server 2008 Enterprise Edition x 64 SP1 (don't ask why, I just have to run Server 2008)

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Your OS windows seems not to be the Windows which was preinstalled on your Portege
  You cannot update the BIOS by using the windows server 2008 Enterprise Edition x 64

  You will need to put the system which has been pre-installed by Toshiba

  Good bye

  Hello

  I don't know why she does not appear on the download page. I checked several pages to download the product as it should be, and it is not present anywhere. The package is properly formatted, so I suspect it's a timing problem of a certain type with the site. There is a newer version of the firmware that is pending release and will get I hope that Web site to get new data.

  You must be the FW 21.0.1 - 0083 or later to apply this update to the firmware.

  Thank you

• Question of updating the BIOS of the Tecra M10

  Hello

  I own a Tecra M10-10 q (abbreviated model: PTMB1E)
  I received a few days ago an automatic alert of Toshiba TEMPRO to inform a new BIOS driver.

  After downloading and extracting the .zip file, I launched the executable: P0065v190.exe
  Asked me to confirm that I want to date of current version BIOS BIOS package version 1.90 1.50

  When I click on 'Yes', I got a popup window titled: "TOSHIBA BIOS Package version 3.2.9!
  with between other precautions, the following statement:
  "Disable BitLocker Drive Encryption in Windows Vista before updating the BIOS"

  A google search on what is "BitLocker Drive Encryption" and how to disable it, informs that it is under the heading 'Security' in the control panel.
  However, I can't find anything like "BitLocker", when I click on 'Security' in the Panel!

  So, I cancelled the update procedure. But I like to keep my system uptodate!
  What should I do? Where to find the BitLocker? How to make a such BIOS update?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  Windows Bit locker drive BitLocker is a data protection feature that is available ONLY in Windows Vista Enterprise, Windows Vista Ultimate and Windows Server 2008.

  If you don t have one of these versions of Vista, then a Bilocker is NOT available on your preinstalled system!

  With regard to the update of the BIOS;
  I'm always that notice; never change a running system; so, if the laptop works properly and without problem a BIOS update is not necessary that s my personal opinion

  See you soon

• Time to update the BIOS and firmware of remote management?

  I'll put up a 'new' ThinkServer RD630 (2954A6U). It was purchased for a project that never happened, and we are now dry and reuse to replace an old Office Server. The current firmware versions are:

  • BIOS: 2.05
  • ME: 2.1.5.73
  • BMC 1.7
  • IPMI 2.0

  Page 61 of the User Guide ThinkServer says, "update the BIOS on your server only if the new BIOS version specifically solves a problem you have. We don't recommend updates to the BIOS for servers that do not need. [...]"

  As far as I know, we have no problems. The system starts fine and runs Windows Server 2012 well enough.

  HERE'S MY QUESTION:

  Should I update the BIOS and firmware IMM (remote management) to the current version? Are there hidden problems, security issues or other concerns that it is worth?

  Other indicators of initial configuration that you can share with a new admin would be much appreciated, too! Thank you.

  With the help of the Lenovo Support, I was able to fix my problem where I couldn't get to the menu of the BIOS of the 630 RD (in F1) and all I saw was a cursor on the screen. I describe the procedure in detail here:

  https://forums.Lenovo.com/T5/ThinkServer-rack-mounted/BIOS-settings-blank-with-cursor-after-BIOS-UPD...

  Thank you to all those who commented above and especially to those who have sent me suggestions via PMs.

• Update the BIOS W540 2.18 cannot start any operating system

  Can anyone help please, thank you.

  In the BIOS under startup under Startup UEFI/Legacy, set options "both", "first heritage."

• How can I update the BIOS without using a CD?

  Hello!

  I recently decided to update my RAM from 2 GB to 4 GB. After installation, I started my computer to find that it would not recognize the new memory. After doing some troubleshooting, I decided to try to update the BIOS, like the 2010 version. I have downloaded the update to the BIOS boot CD implementation of lenovo, burned a disk and restarts, I found that the boot order has no CD contained thereon. Here's the catch: I do not have the supervisor password. It is a mobile phone in hand, and I tried to find the password nothing is done. It's the current boot order: USB key, hard drive.

  My question is, can I create a BIOS update disk using a USB key, or update the BIOS of another way?

  I understand that it is impossible to recover the supervisor password without having served (that I prefer to not do, even if I have to return my Crucial RAM)

  My system features:

  ThinkPad L512

  BIOS version: 1.04

  BIOS date: 2010-3-26

  Controller of Embeded Version: 1.01

  Windows 7 32 bit

  Thanks for your help.

  Welcome to the forum!

  Two things here:

  (a) If you run the system update, it should offer the latest BIOS for your machine as well. I never did on a protected device, so it may or may not work, but perhaps worth it.

  (b) I doubt the ability of the system to recognize the new RAM has something to do with the BIOS. Much older than your ThinkPads will take place 4-8 GB of RAM with an old BIOS, older than your machine initially.

  Good luck.

• Update the BIOS R610 of linux

  Hi again fellows!

  After Googling a lot, and now me again. I need to update my BIOS and linux debian Server R610, of course, without having to restart the systems.

  All the information I found on linux is confuse, some guys use lmbios to run the images, others use the iDRAC7 Interface but I hafe iDRAC6 and I can't access the web interface, I can only access OMSA 7 Web GUI.

  How you guys update the BIOS from linux? I already downloaded the image.

  Thanks in advance

  Hello xgonzalo

  You can update the BIOS to OpenManage Essentials: http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/systems-management/w/wiki/1989.openmanage-essentials.aspx

  The easiest day is simply to use a DUP and updated through the iDRAC. Why you can't access the web interface of the iDRAC?

  The BIOS will not update until the system restarts, then why is it so important that you perform the update without reboot? If you can not web server iDRAC function then it would probably best to boot from a Linux live CD that you run the RHEL or CentOS sync .bin file. Other methods to perform updates will be community supported on Debian.

• Impossible to update the BIOS on my Satellite A660

  Hello, guys!
  When I try to update the BIOS on my laptop in version 2.3 (latest version 1.6) I get the message "install UEFI winflash 0.02:

  + The program will be closed! +
  + There is an error occurred, please check below Articles. +
  + The BIOS above 230 version. +
  + More than 20% of battery capacity. +
  + Is attached AC. +

  The conditions of the first and the last are rooms but the second is not because the battery is dead (always 0% charged). Is there another way to update the BIOS?
  Thank you!

  Post edited by: al_3

  No, there is no other update BIOS because victory BIOS update version is available on the Toshiba driver website.

  I guess you need good work and battery charge in order to update the BIOS.

  But why you want to update the BIOS? Is something wrong with the laptop?
  The update of the BIOS is a very serious update and must be done very carefully
  Incorrect procedure may damage the motherboard!

• Yet WT8 - after that updating the BIOS 1.6 screen is too bright

  After the update the BIOS to version 1.6, as even the lowest setting of the screen is bright when using the device in a dark environment (e.g. reading in bed). Before the update, I simply set the brightness slider Windows at the lowest level and everything was fine but now it is so brilliant that he hurt the eyes.

  Anyone else with this problem? Is there a solution?

  * Brightness * level is a function of * EC version * (on-board controller).

  There are variants _Two in units shipped: __

  THIS 1.10 + and +-bios 1.20
  THIS 1.20 + and +-bios 1.20

  _After bios upgrade: _

  THIS 1.20 + and +-bios 1.60

  EC 1.10 was 1.20 lower brightness level, 1.10 is so much better in the dark situation, * ask * Toshiba * Europe * to solve this problem.

• Satellite Pro A120: Need to update the BIOS after upgrade CPU

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A120 and I need to update the bios of a change in cpu cause.
  The laptop works very well, but for some reason any with the new processor fan runs always full.

  A lot, I searched but found nothing.
  The model number is PSAC1E-0QL04CG3 of ideas where I can find the bios?

  THX in advance,
  John

  Hello

  First of all: update BIOS doesn t help you.
  Why do you think that BIOS update should help reduce the activity of fan?

  I guess that your new processor is faster. Right?
  So it offers more performance and this leads to higher heat dissipation... so finally the CPU must be cooled and this can be done only if the cooling module would turn faster you agree with me?

  By the way: the update of the BIOS is on the page of the Toshiba UE driver. Since the satellite Pro A120 is very old series, you will need to search for drivers in area Archive (Type of product-> Archive)

  Hi ML

  Stupid question maybe now but why do you want to update the BIOS on this, I think, fairly new laptop model?
  Have you noticed a few issues or hardware issues?
