Intel S9232WK2HLC Server System BIOS/Firmware 0.34

BMC version 2.48.ce3e3bd2 implements new password complexity rules

- The Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) firmware version 2.48.ce3e3bd2 implements new BMC Password complexity rules. The default setting for password complexity value is set to Medium.
- In previous BMC firmware version 2.48.89b32e0d (and earlier) no option for complexity rules were available. The equivalent version of enabling password complexity rules on version 2.48.89b32e0d (and earlier) is to Disable password complexity rules on version 2.48.ce3e3bd2.
- The main purpose of the added feature of Password complexity rules, is to prevent setting weak passwords due to security considerations.

Note:

- There is a potential scenario where the user may upgrade to BMC firmware version 2.48.ce3e3bd2 or newer and perform a “BMC Factory default” restoration. This action will enforce the new password rules, setting the complexity to Medium, and forcing the user to follow the new password complexity rules.
- Users must set a password compliant with the selected complexity policy when setting a new password after BMC Factory default.
- If a BMC Factory default is not performed, the system will keep accepting the old password even if it does not comply with the new complexity rules.

About Firmware Updates:

Applying a newer firmware version than the one already installed on your unit can bring various enhancements, include workarounds for diverse problems encountered by the device, and improve or add newly developed features.

On the other hand, downgrading the firmware version can recover the device's functionality in the event of a software update either turning up faulty or causing the unit's overall performance to drop. However, bear in mind that applying an older firmware isn't recommended and might not always be possible.

When it comes to the update steps, due to the large variety of devices and numerous ways for installing a new firmware, it is recommended that you carefully read and understand the upgrade steps, and consider applying a different firmware only when you have familiarized yourself with the update method.

As the installation process is most of the times quite risky, this step should be taken by users that have the ability to successfully complete the update; regular users may initiate it at their own risk. Moreover, it's best that this task be performed in a steady power environment such as the one ensured by a UPS unit.

Therefore, if you consider applying this release, hit the download button, take into account all the aforementioned aspects, and update the device's firmware. Also make sure you constantly check with our website to ensure that you don't miss a single new release.

  It is highly recommended to always use the most recent driver version available.

Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver. This will help if you installed an incorrect or mismatched driver. Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer.
