Zusammenfassung:An information handling system includes a memory, a basic input/output system (BIOS), and a baseboard memory controller (BMC). The memory stores a current BMC reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) driver. The BIOS receives a firmware update release. The firmware update release includes a first BMC RAS driver. The BIOS stores the first BMC RAS driver in a predetermined location of the memory. The BMC reads the first BMC RAS driver from the memory. The BMC also determines whether a first version of the first BMC RAS driver is different than a second version of a second BMC RAS version loaded in the BMC. In response to the first and second versions being different, the BMC loads the first BMC RAS driver.
