Update the firmware
Several options are available to update the firmware for the server.
You can use the tools listed here to update the most current firmware for your server and the devices that are
installed in the server.
Note: Lenovo typically releases firmware in bundles called UpdateXpress System Packs (UXSPs). To ensure
that all of the firmware updates are compatible, you should update all firmware at the same time. If you are
updating firmware for both the Lenovo XClarity Controller and UEFI, update the firmware for Lenovo XClarity
Controller first.
