Page 445 • 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.
Page 446 Several options are available to install and set up the firmware for the server. Important: Lenovo does not recommend setting option ROMs to Legacy, but you can conduct this setting if necessary. Note that this setting prevents UEFI drivers for the slot devices from loading, which may cause negative side effects to Lenovo software, such as LXCA, OneCLI, and XCC.
Page 447 In addition, you can choose to make the text-based interface the default interface that is displayed when you start LXPM. To do this, go to Lenovo XClarity Provisioning Manager ➙ UEFI Setup ➙ System Settings ➙ <F1>Start Control ➙ Text Setup. To start the server with Graphic User Interface, select Auto or Tool Suite.
