Note: By default, the Lenovo XClarity Provisioning Manager Graphical User Interface is displayed when
you start the server and press the key specified in the on-screen instructions. If you have changed that
default to be the text-based system setup, you can bring up the Graphical User Interface from the text-
based system setup interface.

server.

– 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.
For additional information about configuring Ethernet over USB, see:
“Configuring Ethernet over USB” section in the XCC documentation version compatible with your
server 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.
