We use EFI to update the BIOS and other firmware components on Intel Server Systems and Intel Server Boards.
To work with the EFI shell we sometimes need to plug in a USB flash drive or run other commands that are not so obvious.
- Intel: Basic Instructions for Using EFI (Extensible Firmware Interface) for Server Configuration on Intel Server Boards and Intel Server Systems. (Link to PDF document)
The mount command:
- map –r [Enter]
Then to choose the flash drive:
- fs0: [Enter]
Off we go to run our updates whether in the root of the flash drive or in a subfolder.
