Note: Upgrading the BIOS on existing R50L’s with SLED10 is recommended when upgrading base image to SLED11 to ensure all functionality is working as expected (i.e. WDM integration, etc.).
Using the I2D/Merlin files with WSI or WDM to upgrade base image will also upgrade the BIOS. Alternatively, the BIOS can be upgraded manually (see below)
Steps to update the Bios manually
1. Take a bootable pen drive.2. Unzip the BIOS file and copy the extracted folder onto the pen drive.
3. Boot the device through pen drive. (Can also use “P” key while booting for R and C-Class) 4. Change directory to the respective Bios folder.
5. Run f.bat file and reboot the device when completed.
6. Enter CMOS setup again and hit F9 to Load default configurations. 7. Hit F10 to save changes and Exit.
