System
Firmware
Updates
This
section
provides
information
and
instructions
for
updating
the
system
firmware.
You
may
need
to
perform
these
steps
if
you
are
installing
an
option
or
if
your
support
representative
has
instructed
you
to
update
your
firmware.
Always
check
the
pSeries
&
RS/6000
Support
Web
site
for
the
latest
firmware
images
and
update
instructions.
The
Web
address
is:
http://www.rs6000.ibm.com/support/micro
Downloading
the
firmware
update
image
and
update
instructions
from
the
Web
is
preferred.
If
the
system
is
running,
but
access
to
the
Web
is
not
available,
see
“System
Firmware
Update
Using
a
Locally
Available
Image”
on
page
401.
If
the
system
cannot
be
powered
on,
but
the
service
processor
menus
are
available,
see
“Updating
System
Firmware
From
the
Service
Processor
Menus”
on
page
402.
If
the
service
processor
programming
has
been
corrupted,
the
service
processor
will
automatically
enter
recovery
mode
when
power
is
applied
to
the
system.
Recovery
mode
is
described
later
in
this
section.
To
check
the
level
of
firmware
that
is
currently
on
the
system,
see
“Determining
the
Level
of
Firmware
on
the
System”
on
page
401.
General
Information
on
System
Firmware
Updates
All
the
types
of
system
firmware
that
can
be
reprogrammed
are
updated
at
the
same
time.
They
are:
v
System
power
control
network
programming
v
Service
processor
programming
v
IPL
programming
v
Run-time
abstraction
services
It
is
strongly
recommended
that
you
create
a
set
of
firmware
update
diskettes
from
the
Web
site
as
soon
as
possible
after
a
system
is
installed.
As
noted
below,
the
diskette
images
can
be
downloaded
to
any
personal
computer,
pSeries,
or
RS/6000
system
with
Internet
access.
This
method
is
the
only
way
to
acquire
a
set
of
firmware
update
diskettes;
they
cannot
be
created
by
using
the
service
processor
menus
or
by
using
AIX.
Retain
and
store
the
latest
firmware
diskettes
each
time
the
firmware
gets
updated
in
the
event
that
the
firmware
becomes
corrupted
and
must
be
reloaded.
Download
the
detailed
instructions,
as
well
as
the
latest
flash
images,
from
this
Web
site.
Before
doing
a
system
firmware
update,
check
the
Web
site
for
the
latest
code
and
images.
Do
not
attempt
a
firmware
update
if
you
are
unsure
of
the
image
you
have,
or
of
the
procedure
required
for
the
update.
