Abstract: A method for updating firmware of a rackmount server system is disclosed herein and is suited to update a firmware of an update-needed chip module by a control chip module. The method includes the following steps of: sending a plurality of packets constituting a renewed firmware to the update-needed chip module by the control chip module; sending a command of verifying the plurality of packets to the update-needed chip module by the control chip module; acquiring a plurality of verification messages, corresponding to the plurality of packets, from the update-needed chip module by the control chip module; and determining whether all of the plurality of verification messages corresponding to the plurality of packets are correct or not by the control chip module, thereby making sure whether the plurality of packets received by the update-needed chip module are incorrect or not.
