Cisco Intersight Managed Mode server firmware updates are released to provide updated versions of BIOS, CIMC, adapters, and other server components for supported Cisco UCS servers managed through Intersight. To manage the Cisco UCS server firmware, see Managing Firmware in Intersight Managed Mode. This feature is available with a Cisco Intersight Essentials or Advanced license tier.

Supported Cisco UCS servers managed through Intersight are:

• Intersight Managed Mode (IMM) servers:

  These include Cisco UCS B-Series, C-Series, and X-Series servers connected to Intersight through Cisco UCS Fabric Interconnects.

Firmware upgrades in Intersight include both server and infrastructure firmware updates, which can be updated independently. That is, you do not need to upgrade infrastructure firmware to use the latest server firmware and vice versa. For more information on compatibility between infrastructure firmware and server firmware , see Cross Version Firmware Support. For more information on infrastructure firmware updates, see Release Notes for Cisco Intersight Managed Mode Infrastructure Firmware.
