    The PTFs for server firmware updates are displayed with the Licensed Internal Code product (5722999) and begin with the prefix MH. For example, MHnnnnn where nnnnn is the number associated to the specific server firmware fix.

11. If the level of server firmware displayed is not the level that you installed, perform the following steps:
    1. Retry the update. If you created a CD or DVD for this procedure, use a new media.
    2. If the problem persists, contact your next level of support.
