16. Update the standard I/O book board with the latest firmware or restore the pre-existing firmware image that the customer provides. See Updating the firmware.
    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.
17. Restart the IMM2; then, restart the server.
