Service Processor Firmware Updates
Attention: Only the service processor firmware can be updated from the service
processor menus; the system firmware cannot be updated from the service processor
menus. A service processor firmware update always requires a companion system
firmware update, which must be applied first. For this reason, updating only the service
processor firmware using the service processor menus is not recommended. See the
Web site at http://www.rs6000.ibm.com/support/micro to download the latest firmware
levels and update instructions.
The service processor firmware update image must be written onto a DOS-formatted
diskette. The update image can be obtained from the following Web site:
http://www.rs6000.ibm.com/support/micro.
After the update diskette has been made, from the service processor main menu, select
Service Processor Setup. Then select Reprogram Service Processor Flash
EPROM. The program requests the update diskette(s) as they are needed. The service
processor will automatically reboot after the firmware update is complete.
