Configuring a ServeRAID controller
Use the information in this section to configure an optional ServeRAID controller. If
you need to configure an optional LSI RAID controller, see "Using the LSI Logic
Configuration Utility program" on page 64.
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.
To update the firmware and UEFI code for an optional ServeRAID controller, you
must use the IBM ServeRAID Support CD that comes with the controller.
Note: To update the firmware and UEFI code for an optional ServeRAID controller,
you might have to use an external USB CD-RW/DVD drive such as the IBM and
Lenovo part number 73P4515 or 73P4516. See "Firmware updates" for additional
instructions about using an external USB CD-RW/DVD drive.
For more information about the ServeRAID controller, go to http://www-

Firmware updates
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.
The firmware for the server is periodically updated and is available for download
from the Web. To check for the latest level of firmware, such as BIOS code, vital
product data (VPD) code, device drivers, and service processor firmware complete
the following steps.
Note: Changes are made periodically to the IBM Web site. The actual procedure
might vary slightly from what is described in this document.
