BIOS version of UCS Server

[Lucas Woo]

Hello.

As you see a title, I want to know whether I should upgrade BIOS version of Cisco UCS (Cisco SNS-3655-K9).

I`ve already upgraded CIMC like below.
（4.1(3b) → 4.1(3f)）

In this situation, Do I have to upgrade BIOS version to suitable one
and what is recommended version ?

You ALWAYS want to  match the BIOS and the CIMC version to the same version released in the bundle.

If you are going with 4.13f bundle for CIMC, make sure you use same bundle version that is in 4.13f for the BIOS.

Thank you for your reply.

I understand the BIOS and the CIMC version should be matched and how to upgrade it, but I don`t know specific version.

What is the BIOS version which is related to CIMC version (4.1(3f)?

And is it ok to run Running BIOS Version (C220M5.4.1.3e.0_ISE) with Running CIMC Version (4.1(3f)?
