Updating the integrated system management firmware
To update the integrated system management (ISM) firmware for the integrated
system management processor (ISMP), download the Integrated System
Management Firmware Update Utility program for your server from the IBM Support
Web site at http://www.ibm.com/pc/support/. Then run the Integrated System
Management Firmware Update Utility program to create a diskette to use to update
the ISM firmware. This diskette updates the ISM firmware only and does not affect
any device drivers.
Complete the following steps to update the ISM firmware:
1. Turn off your server. (Review the information in “Safety” on page v and “Turning
off the server” on page 13.)
2. Insert the diskette into the diskette drive.
3. Turn on your server. If your server does not start from the diskette drive, use the
Configuration/Setup Utility program to configure the diskette drive as a startup
device. See “Using the Configuration/Setup Utility program” on page 16. Then,
start again at step 1.
4. From the main menu, select Update System Management Firmware and
press Enter.
5. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the update.
If
there is an error in updating the ISM firmware, try installing it again.
