your
support
representative
has
instructed
you
to
update
your
firmware.
Downloading
the
firmware
update
image
and
update
instructions
from
the
Web
is
preferred.
Always
check
the
pSeries
and
RS/6000
Support
Web
site
for
the
latest
firmware
images
and
update
instructions.
The
Web
address
is:
http://techsupport.services.ibm.com/server/mdownload2
If
you
cannot
download
from
the
Web,
do
the
following:
v
If
the
system
is
running,
but
access
to
the
Web
is
not
available,
see
“System
Firmware
Update
Using
a
Locally
Available
Image”
on
page
253.
v

General
Information
on
System

Updates
All
the
system
firmware
types
that
can
be
reprogrammed
are
updated
at
the
same
time.
They
are:
v
System

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
corrupted
and
must
be
reloaded.
Download
the
detailed
instructions,
as
well
as
the
latest
flash
images,
from
the
following
Web
address:
http://techsupport.services.ibm.com/server/mdownload2.
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.
The
images
are
available
on
the
Web
site
in
either
DOS
format
or
AIX
(backup)
format:
v
If
downloading
to
a
PC,
download
the
DOS
image
and
follow
the
instructions.
The
diskettes
that
are
created
will
be
in
AIX
(backup)
format.
v
If
downloading
to
a
pSeries
or
RS/6000
system,
follow
the
instructions
to
create
an
image
on
a
disk
drive
or
on
diskettes.
