Firmware Using
the Firmware Library

DCImanager allows you to centrally store BMC and BIOS/UEFI server firmware in a specialized storage facility - a firmware library. Using the library allows you to maintain the consistency of server firmware versions throughout the entire infrastructure and promptly update firmware to prevent possible failures in the operation of IT resources.

The library also allows you to manage firmware via a convenient graphical interface:
