5. Install an operating system and update the operating system.
• Install the AIX operating system. For instructions, see Installing AIX (http://www.ibm.com/support/
knowledgecenter/POWER9/p9hdx/p9hdx_installaix.htm).
• Install the Linux operating system. For instructions, see Installing Linux (http://www.ibm.com/
support/knowledgecenter/POWER9/p9hdx/p9hdx_installlinux.htm).
• Install the VIOS operating system. For instructions, see Installing VIOS (http://www.ibm.com/
support/knowledgecenter/POWER9/p9hch/p9hch_installvios.htm).
• Install the IBM i operating system. For instructions, see Installing the IBM i operating system (http://
www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/POWER9/p9hdx/p9hdx_ibmi.htm).
6. Update the system firmware, if required.
• For instructions to get firmware fixes through the AIX or Linux operating system, see Getting server
firmware fixes through AIX or Linux without a management console (http://www.ibm.com/support/
knowledgecenter/POWER9/p9ha5/fix_firm_no_hmc_aix.htm).
• If you are using VIOS, see Updating the Virtual I/O Server (http://www.ibm.com/support/
