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.
The
diskette
images
can
be
downloaded
to
any
personal
computer,
pSeries,
or
RS/6000
system
with
Internet
access.
This
method
and
contacting
your
service
representative
are
the
only
two
ways
to
acquire
a
set
of
firmware
update
diskettes;
they
cannot
be
created
by
using
the
service
processor
menus
or
by
using
the
operating
system.
Retain
and
store
the
latest
firmware
diskettes
each
time
the
firmware
gets
updated
in
the
event
that
the
firmware
becomes
damaged
and
must
be
reloaded.
Download
the
detailed
instructions,
as
well
as
the
latest
flash
images,
from
the
following
Web
address:

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.
