Dell PowerEdge M1000e Chassis Management Controller Firmware Version 5.1 User’s Guide

By performing this update, the firmware for a component of the IOM device is updated, but not the firmware of the IOM device itself; the component is the interface circuitry between the IOM device and CMC. The update image for the component resides in the CMC file system, and the component displays as an updatable device on the CMC Web interface only if the current revision on the component and the component image on CMC do not match.

Before updating IOM infrastructure device firmware, make sure the CMC firmware is updated.

CMC allows IOM infrastructure device firmware (IOMINF) updates only if it detects that the IOMINF firmware is out-of-date with the image contained in CMC file system. If the IOMINF firmware is up-to-date, CMC prevents IOMINF updates. Up-to-date IOMINF devices are not listed as updatable devices.
