• Lenovo XClarity Controller
If you need to install a specific update, you can use the Lenovo XClarity Controller interface for a specific
server.
Notes:
– To perform an in-band update through Windows or Linux, the operating system driver must be installed
and the Ethernet-over-USB (sometimes called LAN over USB) interface must be enabled.
Additional information about configuring Ethernet over USB is available at:

– If you update firmware through the Lenovo XClarity Controller, make sure that you have downloaded
and installed the latest device drivers for the operating system that is running on the server.
