• ServeRAID firmware is stored in ROM on the ServeRAID adapter.
• SAS/SATA firmware is stored in ROM on the SAS/SATA controller on the system board.
Major components contain VPD code. You can select to update the VPD code during the server firmware
update procedure.
Starting the backup server firmware
The system board contains a backup copy area for the server firmware (formerly BIOS firmware). This is
a secondary copy of the server firmware that you update only during the process of updating the server
firmware. If the primary copy of the server firmware becomes damaged, use this backup copy.
To force the server to start from the backup copy, turn off the server; then, place the J6 jumper in the
backup position (pins 2 and 3).
Use the backup copy of the server firmware until the primary copy is restored. After the primary copy is
restored, turn off the server; then, move the J6 jumper back to the primary position (pins 1 and 2).
Recovering the server firmware
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.
If the server firmware has become corrupted, such as from a power failure during an update, you can
recover the server firmware in one of two ways:
•
In-band method:
Recover server firmware, using either the boot block jumper (Automated Boot
Recovery) and a server Firmware Update Package Service Pack.
•
Out-of-band method:
Use the IMM Web Interface to update the firmware, using the latest server
firmware update package.
Notes:
You can obtain a server update package from one of the following sources:
• Download the server firmware update from the World Wide Web.
• Contact your Lenovo service representative.
To download the server firmware update package from the World Wide Web, complete the following steps.
Note:
Changes are made periodically to the Lenovo Web site. The actual procedure might vary slightly
from what is described in this document.

The flash memory of the server consists of a primary bank and a backup bank. It is essential that you
maintain the backup bank with a bootable firmware image. If the primary bank becomes corrupted, you can
either manually boot the backup bank with the boot block jumper, or in the case of image corruption, this
will occur automatically with the Automated Boot Recovery function.
