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. 28 IBM xSeries 235 Type 8671: User's Guide
