Do these steps to update Integrated Management Module (IMM) firmware for integrated server hardware.
The IMM firmware update was downloaded
previously. See Downloading firmware updates for System x. 
Refer to the readme file printed earlier during the IMM firmware download. Use the readme file instructions along with the following steps to perform the firmware update. The readme file can contain any changes necessary to the following instructions. Follow the directions in the readme file wherever differences occur.
Note: The following
steps are performed on the computer containing the update package
(not on the System
x console).
- Configure the IP address and networking information for the IMM. See Configuring the IMM IP address and DHCP settings.
- Ensure the System x AC power cords are attached to a power source. Refer to System x documentation to complete this step. Wait at least 30 seconds following this step to allow the IMM hardware to start.
- Open a Web browser. In the address field, type the IP address of the IMM to which you want to connect. The Enter Password window opens.
- Type the user name and password on the Enter Password window. The IMM has a default user name of USERID and password of PASSW0RD (where 0 is a zero, not the letter O).
- Select a timeout value on the next screen and click continue.
- If the next window is the System Status window, on the navigation pane on the left, under Tasks, click Firmware Update.
- Click Browse and navigate to the file containing the firmware update. The file has an extension of .exe.
- Select this file and click Open. The full path of the selected file is displayed in the Browse field.
- To start the update process, click Update. A progress indicator opens as the file is transferred to temporary storage on the Integrated Management Module. A confirmation window is displayed when the file transfer is complete.
- Verify that the file shown on the Confirm Firmware Update window is the one you want to update. If not, click Cancel.
