•  Lenovo XClarity Provisioning Manager
From Lenovo XClarity Provisioning Manager, you can update the Lenovo XClarity Controller firmware, the 
UEFI firmware, and the Lenovo XClarity Provisioning Manager software.
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.
For additional information about using Lenovo XClarity Provisioning Manager to update firmware, see:

•  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.
For additional information about configuring Ethernet over USB, see:
“Configuring Ethernet over USB” section in the XCC documentation version compatible with your 
server at 
https://sysmgt.lenovofiles.com/help/topic/lxcc_frontend/lxcc_overview.html
–  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.
