Integrated Management Module (IMM)
You can perform certain firmware updates using the IMM. See 7.2, “Integrated Management
Module II (IMM2)” on page 201 for information about how to connect to the IMM. The IMM2
will allow you to update DSA, IMM2 (primary and backup images), and UEFI (primary and
backup images).
The following section describes the process of updating the IMM2, UEFI, and DSA via the
IMM2 page:
1. From the IMM2 web interface, select Server Management  Server Firmware, as seen
in Figure 5-73.

3. Ensure that you have downloaded the appropriate firmware update from the IBM support

4. After you have selected your file, you can perform the firmware flash.
Note: Updating server firmware via the IMM2 is intended for recovery purposes. The
preferred method of updating firmware is to use IBM UpdateXpress System Pack Installer,
as outlined in this section.
