Finished

Step 4) Reboot system

BIOS requires a reboot to activate

sudo reboot

NOTE: the reboot will take longer than normal as it has to re-initialize and re-configure the device.

Step 5) Configure BIOS

Because the BIOS has been updated, all the configuration settings need to be set again. To do this from an external system run the following command

curl -k -u admin:<password> -H"Content-type: application/json" -H'If-None-Match: "123456"' --data-binary "@5114-Z34-R29_F43-20260115.jq" -X PATCH https://<BMC IP Address>/redfish/v1/Systems/Self/Bios/SD

Step 5) Confirm new BIOS

Once the system is online confirm the new bios per below

dmesg  | grep BIOS

Expected behavior is the bios version (in this case F43) shows up in the log as highlighted below.

Confirm the microcode version per below

cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep microcode | uniq

Expected value is 0xa101158 as shown below

Step 6) Confirm capture is good

Once the system is back confirm packet capture is operating correctly.  e.g. can download newly captured packets from the system.

If the capture is not operating correctly

• Run the Step 4) BIOS configuration step again

• Reboot the system

Incorrect BIOS settings will cause the capture to not operate correctly (specifically the PCIe lane mappings).

Step 7) Finished

Completed.
