Intel® BladeSynch consolidates all of the currently available BIOS/Firmware and Microsoft Windows* based driver packages for the Intel blade server family into a single, easy to use package. 
BladeSynch is distributed as an .iso bootable CD-ROM image for download only.  This image may be used to burn a physical CD or it may be mounted using the remote CD-ROM feature available with the Intel SBCECMM and SBCECMM2.  

The BladeSynch CD is comprised of two separate volumes:
•	A menu driven bootable volume that provides the BIOS and firmware updates for the Intel family of server compute blades 
•	A data volume that contains the current firmware updates for the entire Intel SBHE family of blade products and the current Microsoft Windows* based driver packages for the individual server compute blades. 

To update the BIOS and firmware on an Intel server compute blade, simply boot the blade from the BladeSynch CD_ROM, choose the server type to update, and BladeSynch will do the rest.

To access the driver and firmware packages located on the data volume, browse the CD with a Web browser and select either the Drivers and Utilities or Firmware Updates link.  

This CD contains the following firmware updates
