Service Desktop home page, and by consulting Table 1 on page 63. The system level will be defined
by one of the System Level (Model Number) columns in Table 1 on page 63.

required firmware version for the that system level.
• If the current firmware version(s) match the required version(s) quoted in Table 1 on page 63, no
additional steps are required.
