Steps to perform:
Note | The expected content consists of a Licenses folder plus several files, including the startup.nsh. After unzipping it, if it goes to a single folder, you need to access that in order to see the required content. |
Run the fs0: command to change directories to that of the USB flash drive.
Note | The USB flash drive may also mount to fs1, depending on the other installed devices your system may have. |
If necessary, run the map -r command on the EFI Shell to mount the USB flash drive. The number of fs# is dependent on the result of the map -r command. |
Run the Startup.nsh command to start updating. Follow the on-screen instructions.
Note | When prompted with the 5 options to choose from, select # 3 (Update both, the SDR and FRU ) and follow the on-screen instructions. |
Restart the system into the BIOS by pressing F2 during POST. Then, after you are inside the BIOS, press F9 to load the BIOS default settings. Reset any customized BIOS settings. Finally, press F10 to save the changes and exit.
