In this section, we discuss the stages of preparing IBM Eserver BladeCenter for operation.

6.1.1 Management Module firmware

After the required hardware has been installed in your IBM Eserver BladeCenter, you should update the Management Module using IBM Eserver® BladeCenter - Management

Module Firmware Update Version 1.18 or later. To acquire the firmware, go to:

http://www.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-54939

Be sure to read the notes that are associated with the firmware installation. You can also search for the latest firmware version at:
