If you are updating firmware for both the Lenovo XClarity Controller and UEFI, update the firmware for Lenovo XClarity Controller first.
  • Page 165 See the following table to determine the best Lenovo tool to use for installing and setting up the firmware: Note: The server UEFI settings for option ROM must be set to Auto or UEFI to update firmware using Lenovo XClarity Essentials. For more information, see the following Tech Tip: https://datacentersupport.lenovo.com/us/en/solutions/ht506118...

  • Page 166: Configure The Firmware

    • 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.
  • Page 167 Important: Do not configure option ROMs to be set to Legacy unless directed to do so by Lenovo Support. This setting prevents UEFI drivers for the slot devices from loading, which can cause negative side effects for Lenovo software, such as Lenovo XClarity Essentials OneCLI, and to the Lenovo XClarity Controller. The side effects include the inability to determine adapter card details, such as model name and firmware levels.
