That's not something you do. BMC can update itself and system BIOS out of band for quite some time. Also, if the BIOS update fails, it generally rolls-back itself.
Last but not least, BMC is a completely independent "computer", so system BIOS is foreign to it, so faiing to update the BIOS doesn't brick the box.
Implications of this "independent computer" is subject to another comment, tho.
