Updating the integrated system management firmware To update the integrated system management 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/. Run the Integrated System Management Firmware Update Utility program to create a diskette to use to update the firmware. The diskette updates the firmware only and does not affect any device drivers. Complete the following steps to update the firmware: 1. Turn off the server. 2. Insert the diskette into the diskette drive. 3. Turn on the server. If the server does not start from the diskette, use the Configuration/Setup Utility program to configure the diskette drive as a startup device.

Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the update. If there is an error in updating the firmware, try the update again. Chapter 2. Configuring your server 21
