Firmware updates

Use this information to update the blade server to the latest levels of UEFI code and firmware updates.

Note
This section does not apply to the IBM WebSphere DataPower Integration Blade XI50B Type 4195 appliance.

IBM periodically makes UEFI code, service processor (IMM) firmware, and diagnostic firmware updates available for the blade server. Before you install the blade server in a BladeCenter unit, go to http://www.ibm.com/systems/support/ to download the latest firmware for the blade server. Install the updates, using the instructions that are included with the downloaded files.

Important
To avoid problems and to maintain system performance, always make sure that the UEFI code, service processor (IMM) firmware, and diagnostic firmware levels are consistent for all blade servers within the BladeCenter unit.
