ML310e BIOS

WallaceTech · 3 Jul 2017 at 21:59

Guys.

I have purchased 3 of these servers from eBay. I wanted to update the BIOS and remembered HP lock the BIOS behind a support contract. FFS! I have applied the latest Support Pack which has updated the BIOS to a 2014 update but there is a 2015 update. Does anyone have this BIOS file handy?

Anyone know what the very very cheapest warranty would be? The server is only for home use so don't want or need to be spending hundreds of pounds.

Thanks for any help or advice in advance

Which generation? G8?

Cheapest Post Warranty Care Pack would probably be U2JE4PE which is around £130+VAT

You can usually download the bios from other places online - granted, it is an 'untrusted' source, but for messing about at home it doesn't make much sense to warranty up.

I don't know if 3rd party support companies like Pheonix (who I think have been bought by Daisy?) get you a mirror, if so they are usually very (very) cheap

HPE publish the checksums even if you can't actually download the BIOS from their site, so you can always check if your 'alternative source' has been tampering with the files.

I have maintenance with HP so if you want I can get hold of the BIOS file from the web site.

Might be on the HP update SPP.

GDL. Thanks man. I forgot I asked for the BIOS. Started to play with the sever and then forgot about it. Just come back to it. Just downloading the SPP now. Thanks again for taking the time to upload it. I really appreciate it.
