c. Under Popular links, click Software and device drivers. d. Under Related downloads, click Dynamic System Analysis (DSA). 4. Check for and apply code updates. Fixes or workarounds for many problems might be available in updated UEFI firmware, device firmware, or device drivers. Important: Some cluster solutions require specific code levels or coordinated code updates. If the device is part of a cluster solution, verify that the latest level of code is supported for the cluster solution before you update the code. a. Install UpdateXpress system updates. You can install code updates that are packaged as an UpdateXpress System Pack. An UpdateXpress System Pack contains an integration-tested bundle of online firmware and device-driver updates for your blade server. In addition, you can use IBM ToolsCenter Bootable Media Creator to create bootable media that is suitable for applying firmware updates and running preboot diagnostics. For more information about UpdateXpress System Packs, see http://www.ibm.com/ systems/support/supportsite.wss/docdisplay?brandind=5000008 &lndocid=SERV-XPRESS . For more information about the Bootable Media Creator, see http://www.ibm.com/systems/support/supportsite.wss/ docdisplay?lndocid=TOOL-BOMC&brandind=5000008. Be sure to separately install any listed critical updates that have release dates that are later than the release date of the UpdateXpress System Pack (see step 4b). b. Install manual system updates. 1) Determine the existing code levels. From the advanced management module Web interface, click Monitors and then click Firmware VPD. In DSA, click Firmware/VPD to view system firmware levels, or click Software to view operating-system levels. 2) Download and install updates of code that is not at the latest level. To display a list of available updates for the blade server, go to http://www.ibm.com/systems/support/supportsite.wss/ docdisplay?brandind=5000008&lndocid=MIGR-63017 or complete the following steps. Note: Changes are made periodically to the IBM website. The actual procedure might vary slightly from what is described in this document. a) Go to http://www.ibm.com/systems/support/. b) Under IBM Systems support, click BladeCenter. c) Under Popular links, click Software and device drivers. d) Click BladeCenter HS12 to display the list of downloadable files for the blade server. When you click an update, an information page is displayed, including a list of the problems that the update fixes. Review this list for your specific problem; however, even if your problem is not listed, installing the update might solve the problem. 5. Check for and correct an incorrect configuration. If the blade server is incorrectly configured, a system function can fail to work when you enable it; if you make an incorrect change to the blade server configuration, a system function that has been enabled can stop working. a. Make sure that all installed hardware and software are supported.

Check for and apply code updates.
Fixes or workarounds for many problems
might be available in updated UEFI firmware, device firmware, or device
drivers.
Important:
Some cluster solutions require specific code levels or coordinated
code updates. If the device is part of a cluster solution, verify that the latest
level of code is supported for the cluster solution before you update the code.
a.
Install Update
Xpress
system updates.
You can install code updates that are
packaged as an Update
Xpress
System Pack. An UpdateXpress System Pack
contains an integration-tested bundle of online firmware and device-driver
updates for your blade server. In addition, you can use IBM ToolsCenter
Bootable Media Creator to create bootable media that is suitable for
applying firmware updates and running preboot diagnostics. For more
information about Update
Xpress
System Packs, see http://www.ibm.com/

Be sure to separately install any listed critical updates that have release
dates that are later than the release date of the Update
Xpress
System Pack
(see step 4b).
b.
Install manual system updates.
1)
Determine the existing code levels.
From the advanced management module Web interface, click
