Firmware updates
Important: Some cluster solutions require specific code levels or coordinated code
updates. If the device is part of a cluster solution, verify that the latest
level of code is supported for the cluster solution before you update the
code.
The firmware for the server is periodically updated and is available for download
from the Web. To check for the latest level of firmware, such as server firmware,
vital product data (VPD) code, device drivers, and service processor firmware,
complete the following steps.
Note: Changes are made periodically to the IBM Web site. The actual procedure
might vary slightly from what is described in this document.
