3.0 Installation and Setup Instructions
-----------------------------------------
3.1 Step by step instructions for this code update
- If you have not done so already, download the diagnostics
update packet file (JJypxxa.pkt) from the IBM support
site to the hard drive of your management server. You
do not need to unzip this file or extract it to a
diskette.
- Using a web browser, log in to the Remote Supervisor
Adapter (RSA) of the server you want to update. You must
log in with a user ID that has read/write privileges.
- In the Tasks section of the blue navigation frame, click
Transfer Files.
- In the Update Firmware section of the page that opens,
click Browse.
- Navigate to the update file (JJypxxa.pkt) that you
downloaded in Step 1. Select the file and then click
Open.
- Click Update.
A progress indicator will be displayed as the update
file is transferred to temporary storage on the RSA for
initial processing.
ATTENTION: To avoid permanent damage to your server, do
not manually power off or restart the server during an
update unless specifically asked to do so in these
instructions or by the web interface. If the server is
already powered on, it will automatically be restarted
by the RSA as part of the update process. If the server
currently is powered off, it will automatically be
powered on.
- When the Confirm Firmware Update page is displayed,
verify that the update file type is "Diagnostics" and
then click Continue. If a different update type is
shown, click Cancel and make sure that you downloaded
the correct file in step 1 and selected the correct file
in step 5.
A progress indicator will be displayed as the firmware
is flashed.
- Wait for the browser to display a completion message
after the update has finished.
