BIOS upgrade error while BIG-IP software update from 12.0.0 to 14.1.2.3

Greetings!

 

I was updating BIG-IP software from 12.0.0 to 14.1.2.3 when /var/log/ltm reported:

>>>********** BIOS **********>>>

Tha system is operational but what could cause the failure? Can I upgrade BIOS separately somehow?

 

Thank you in advance for help ;)
