An engineer must upgrade the server firmware for which the service profile is configured with a host firmware package. Which action must be taken to accomplish this goal?

Disassociating the service profile from the server would remove all its configurations and settings, which is not a direct step to upgrade firmware managed by the service profile itself.

Changing the maintenance policy to user-ack only controls when the server reboots during an upgrade, it does not initiate or perform the firmware upgrade itself.

In Cisco UCS Manager, server firmware is managed through host firmware packages, which are associated with service profiles. To upgrade the server's firmware, an administrator must update the host firmware package linked to the server's service profile, and then apply the changes, which typically involves a server reboot based on the maintenance policy.

Auto Install is a feature primarily for operating system installation or reinstallation, not for upgrading server firmware that is managed by a service profile and host firmware package.
