Importance
RecommendedDell Technologies recommends applying this update during your next scheduled update cycle. The update contains changes to maintain overall system health. It ensures that the system software remains current and compatible with other system modules (firmware, BIOS, drivers, and software) and may include other new features.
Important Information
1. For the PSU warning reporting feature, please use BMC v2.57 (or later) in the system.
2. If FCB relevant components (e.g., CPLD or fan table) need to be updated individually, the update sequence is CPLD -> fan table -> FCB firmware. Suggest using update scripts dos.bat, win.bat or linux.sh to perform it. Note that OpenIPMI driver is necessary for the update from a Linux host.
3. Do not update a single FCB with multiple nodes, unexpected results may occur.

Installation
1.0 Read Me First
======================================================================
In a computing sled: Update firmware to the target device via KCS.
In all storage sled: Update firmware to the target device via SNMPv2c and TFTP.
2.0 Installation and Run with Computing Sled (BMC Exists)
======================================================================
1. IPMI Driver or OpenIPMI Driver should be enabled in Linux and
Windows.
2. Run with Batch file (it will update all binaries of CPLD, fan table and FCB firmware at once).
Dos:
Execute dos.bat to update FCB.
Linux:
Execute linux.sh to update FCB.
Windows:
Execute win.bat to update FCB.
3. Update a specific image
3.1 Go to the specific folder. E.g. dos, linux or windows
3.2 Execute the utility with the image: fcbutil xxx.bin (where xxx is the file name of the image)
2.1 Verifying and Identifying with Computing Sled (BMC Exists)======================================================================
After finish FCB update, user can issue below command to check the
firmware version information.
EX:
1. Get FCB Version
Request: Dos: dos.bat
Linux: linux.sh
Windows: win.bat
Response: FCBVer=[plateform-specific]
FanTableVer=[plateform-specific]
3.0 Installation and Run with All Storage Sled (No BMC)
======================================================================
1. Install SNMP utility, for example Net-SNMP.
2. Install TFTP server.
3. Put the firmware image file on TFTP server.
4. Execute SNMP utility to upgrade target(*3) firmware as below. (*1)
EX:
1. Set TFTP Server IP (*2):
snmpset -v 2c -c community target_ip .1.3.6.1.4.1.674.20.50.6.0 a server_ip
2. Set Image File Name (*2):
snmpset -v 2c -c community target
3.1 Verifying and Identifying with All Storage Sled (No BMC)
======================================================================
After finish FCB update, user can issue below command to check the
firmware version information.
EX:
1. Get FCB Version (*2):
snmpget -v 2c -c community target_ip .1.3.6.1.4.1.674.20.50.2.0
3.2 Footnote
======================================================================
1. This upgrade procedure uses NET-SNMP(Linux) as an example. User may use their preferred tool instead.
2. The property of community in snmpset and snmpget command depends on the community in Configuration file. The default community is public.
3. The default FCB IP address is DHCP. If user doesn't know the FCB IP address, user can press service button with 3 short presses in less than 5 seconds to switch IP address from DHCP to default static IP address (192.168.0.120). If user presses service button with 3 short presses in less than 5 seconds again, FCB will issue reset to default including reset IP address to DHCP.
