Safety inspection checklist
Use the information in this section to identify potentially unsafe conditions with your server. As each machine
was desi ned and built, required safety items were installed to protect users and service technicians from
injury.
CAUTION:
This equipment must be installed or serviced by trained personnel, as defined by the NEC, IEC 62368-
1 & IEC 60950-1, the standard for Safety of Electronic Equipment within the Field of Audio/Video,
Information Technology and Communication Technology Lenovo assumes you are qualified in the
servicing of equipment and trained in recognizing hazards energy levels in products Access to the
equipment is by the use of a tool, lock and key, or other means of security, and is controlled by the

Firmware updates
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
updatin firmware for both the Lenovo XClarity Controller and UEFI, update the firmware for Lenovo XClarity
Controller first.
Best practices related to updatin firmware are available at the followin location:
http://lenovopress.com/LP0656
Important terminology
• In-band update The installation or update is performed usin a tool or application within an operatin
system that is executin on the server’s core processor.
• Out-of-band update The installation or update is performed by the Lenovo XClarity Controller collectin
the update and then directin the update to the tar et subsystem or device. Out-of-band updates have no
dependency on an operatin system executin on the core processor. However, most out-of-band
operations do require the server to be in the S0 (Workin ) power state.
• On-Target update The installation or update is initiated from an operatin system runnin on the server.
• Off-Target update The installation or update is initiated from a computin device interactin directly with
the server’s Lenovo XClarity Controller.
• UpdateXpress System Packs (UXSPs) UXSPs are bundled updates desi ned and tested to provide the
interdependent level of functionality, performance, and compatibility. UXSPs are server machine-type
specific and are built (with firmware and device driver updates) to support specific Windows Server, Red
Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) operatin system distributions.
Machine-type-specific firmware-only UXSPs are also available.
