Step 8.  Make sure that all adapters from the IBM server have been transferred to the upgraded Lenovo 

server and that all cables to the server are reconnected.

Update firmware and device drivers for installed components

After performing the physical conversion and updating server firmware, the service technician must also 
update the firmware and device drivers for all components installed in the server to their Lenovo versions. 
Lenovo firmware and device drivers for installed components are available at 

http:// 

datacentersupport.lenovo.com/

. See the documentation for each device for additional information about how 

to perform the update.

Verification

After the ITL server upgrade is complete, the service technician must complete the following steps to verify 
operation of the Lenovo server:

1.  Make sure that the server powers up and passes UEFI initialization (see 

“Turning on the server” in the 

Lenovo System x3850 X6 and x3950 X6 Type 6241 Installation and Service Guide

and 

“Using the Setup utility” 

in the 

Lenovo System x3850 X6 and x3950 X6 Type 6241 Installation and Service Guide

).

2.  Make sure that you are able to access the IMM (see 

“Using the integrated management module” in the 

Lenovo System x3850 X6 and x3950 X6 Type 6241 Installation and Service Guide

).

3.  Verify that all server vital product data (VPD) is correct (see the 

Integrated Management Module II User’s 

Guide 

at http://systemx.lenovofiles.com/help/topic/com.lenovo.sysx.imm2.doc/printable_doc.html).

4.  Make sure that all server firmware is updated to the latest level (see 

“Updating the firmware” in the 

Lenovo 

System x3850 X6 and x3950 X6 Type 6241 Installation and Service Guide

).

5.  Make sure that there are no errors messages (see 

“Error messages” in the 

Lenovo System x3850 X6 and 

x3950 X6 Type 6241 Installation and Service Guide

).

If problems are encountered following the ITL upgrade, troubleshoot the system using standard methods 
(see 

“Start here” in the 

Lenovo System x3850 X6 and x3950 X6 Type 6241 Installation and Service Guide

). If you
