Instructions for Business Partners

This topic provides additional instructions for Business Partners.

In addition to the instructions in the documentation for installing optional hardware devices, updating firmware and device drivers, and completing the installation, Business Partners must also complete the following steps:

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.
  1. After you have confirmed that the server starts correctly and recognizes the newly installed devices and that no error LEDs are lit, run the Lenovo Dynamic System Analysis (DSA) stress test. For information about using DSA, see Dynamic System Analysis program.
  2. Shut down and restart the server multiple times to ensure that the server is correctly configured and functions correctly with the newly installed devices.
  3. Save the DSA log as a file and send it to Lenovo. For information about transferring data and logs, see How to send DSA data.
  4. To ship the server, repackage it in the original undamaged packing material and observe Lenovo procedures for shipping.
