• From the IPMI webui, navigate to "Maintenance -> BIOS OOB Update"
• Click "Choose File" and select the correct BIOS file
• Click "Upload BIOS File", and wait for the file to be uploaded to the system

• Once upload is complete, you will see "Uploaded successfully" message as above.
• You will now need to reboot the server, which will now boot to a image flashing utility and automatically start the flashing process

Please note: The system must post fully to boot to the image flashing utility. Please do not try to enter the BIOS during this period as you will interrupt the flash process.

• Once completed, the system will restart and the new BIOS will be applied

• For updates to BIOS version 9907, you will have to perform these steps a second time. Simply follow the instructions again from the beginning, ensuring you choose the same BIOS file as before.

Via Linux

• Copy "afulnx_64" script to a Linux host.
• Run the script like so:

./afulnx_64 <path-to-bios-file> /B /P /N

• Once complete, reboot the system for changes to take affect.

• For updates to BIOS version 9907, you will need an additional flag to force the update:
  Ensure you choose the correct file as this command will break the BIOS if not done correctly

./afulnx_64 <path-to-bios-file> /B /P /N /RLC:F

BIOS settings will be wiped, if you need to restore a profile as mentioned at the start of this guide, please follow SPR Profile Save & Restore guide.
