Updating The Code Levels, Firmware - IBM 88743BU - System x3950 E User Manual

4.5.3 Updating the code levels, firmware

You can now consider the x3850 M2 to be an x3950 M2 because it has been
upgraded with the ScaleXpander key.
Ensure that all systems are at the same code levels. Failure to do so could cause
unpredictable results. As we described earlier, we recommend you force a
reflash of all firmware to prevent unexpected behavior.
The system firmware that is relevant to scalability terms includes:
RSA II, FPGA, BMC and BIOS
The minimum required build level for a two-node system is shown in
Table 4-2.

The minimum required code levels for three-node and four-node system are
shown in Table 4-3.
