Chapter 3. Configuration information and instructions
This chapter provides information about updating the firmware and using the configuration utilities.
Updating the firmware
Use this information to update the firmware in your server.
Notes:
• 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.
• Before you update the firmware, be sure to back up any data that is stored in the Trusted Platform Module
(TPM), in case any of the TPM characteristics are changed by the new firmware. For instructions, see your
encryption software documentation.
To check for the latest level of firmware, such as the UEFI firmware, vital product data (VPD), device drivers,
and integrated management module (IMM) firmware, go to http://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral/.
Attention:
Installing the wrong firmware or device-driver update might cause the server to malfunction.
Before you install a firmware or device-driver update, read any readme and change history files that are
provided with the downloaded update. These files contain important information about the update and the
procedure for installing the update, including any special procedure for updating from an early firmware or
device-driver version to the latest version.
You can install code updates that are packaged as an Update
Xpress
System Pack or Update
Xpress
CD
image. An Update
Xpress
System Pack contains an integration-tested bundle of online firmware and
device-driver updates for your server. Use Update
Xpress
System Pack Installer to acquire and apply
Update
Xpress
System Packs and individual firmware and device-driver updates. For additional information
and to download the Update
Xpress
System Pack Installer, go to the ToolsCenter for Lenovo x86 servers at
http://www.ibm.com/support/entry/portal/docdisplay?lndocid=LNVO-CENTER and click
UpdateXpress
System Pack Installer
.
When you click an update, an information page is displayed, including a list of the problems that the update
fixes. Review this list for your specific problem; however, even if your problem is not listed, installing the
update might solve the problem.
Be sure to separately install any listed critical updates that have release dates that are later than the release
date of the Update
Xpress
System Pack or Update
Xpress
image.
The firmware for the server is periodically updated. Download the latest firmware for the server; then, install
the firmware, using the instructions that are included with the downloaded files.
When you replace a device in the server, you might have to update the firmware that is stored in memory on
the device or restore the pre-existing firmware from a CD or DVD image.
The following list indicates where the firmware is stored:
• UEFI firmware is stored in ROM on the system board.
• IMM2 firmware is stored in ROM on the system board.
• ML2 firmware is stored in ROM on the ML2 adapter (if one is installed).
