This topic discusses xSeries® BIOS, Advanced Systems Management, and how to maintain the most current level.
Verify the current level of BIOS for your xSeries model. This level can be obtained by pressing the F1 key during boot up and then displaying System Information. This allows you to check the BIOS and ASM levels installed on the xSeries.
If you need to upgrade the BIOS, see Reviewing the planning documentation on page 5.
Before upgrading the BIOS be sure that the xSeries is not cabled into the HSL loop or SPCN network, and that it is turned on.
