TITLE: Intel Management Engine Firmware Update and Utilities

VERSION: 71913272-81723002 REV: A PASS: 1
DESCRIPTION:
This Intel Management Engine Firmware (ME FW) Flash Update SoftPaq contains
utilities and images that can be used to update the Intel Management Engine
firmware to version...

7.1.91.3271 on Z420, Z620, Z820, Z1 G1, Z210 CMT, and Z210 SFF Workstations

Or

8.1.72.3002 on Z420, Z620, Z820, Z1 G1, Z220 CMT, and Z220 SFF Workstations.

This SoftPaq also includes tools to report status and other information from the
ME firmware.

This Softpaq does NOT include a system BIOS image. However, it is recommended
that the system BIOS be updated to the latest version available before upgrading
the ME firmware.

HP Management Engine firmware SoftPaqs have been updated to include two batch
files for easy deployment. The first batch file, update.bat, is automatically
called when the SoftPaq is run. You have an option to decline the automated
update and perform a manual update at a later time. The second batch file,
silent.bat, can be called by IT professionals to silently deploy the firmware
update (no user interaction required).

Prerequisites when using the Windows update utilities.

1. You must install the latest Intel Management Engine Software. Intel
Management Engine Interface drivers are required.
2. You must run the update.bat, FWUpdLclMe[x].exe, or FWUpdLcl64Me[x].exe with
administrative privileges.

If User Account Control (UAC) is not set to "Never Notify" you will see a UAC
prompt even when using the silent install options (silent.bat)

Please note that Z420, Z620, Z820, and Z1 G1 had support for ME FW 7.x prior to
supporting ME FW 8.x. It is critical to identify which ME FW version is
currently installed on the target system(s) being updated.

The automated scripts provided, silent.bat and update.bat, will correctly
identify the current ME FW version installed and update to the corresponding ME
FW version.

If updating the ME FW manually it is advised to update as follows.

7.x --> 7.1.91.3271
8.x --> 8.1.72.3002
