This page is intended to provide firmware that is intended to be used for very specific situations as identified by the firmware description.

Supplemental Packages

Supplemental Firmware Service Pack for the following Power7 systems: 8231-E1D, 8231-E2D, 8202-E4D, 8205-E6D, 8246-L1D, 8246-L2D, 8246-L1T, 8246-L2T and 8268-E1D.


This AL770 service pack is intended for Power7 entry systems.

Prerequisite:
Only install the firmware below at the instruction of your service representative, after verifying customer hardware either does not require mandatory ECA331, or mandatory ECA331 has already been applied. If you were NOT directed to this location by your service representative, contact your support representative and request ECA331 verification. Failure to complete ECA331 verification can prevent the hardware from booting, requiring hardware replacement to resolve.

This firmware is only for the following servers:

Note:
To access the contents in the .iso file, you must have access to a CD-R or CD-RW drive and software that is capable of creating a CD from an ISO 9660 formatted image.

Use your software's feature for creating a CD from an ISO image. Adaptec Easy CD Creator calls this feature "Create CD from CD image". RecordNow! and Nero Burning ROM call this feature "Burn Image". Refer to the help provided with your CD-R software for further assistance.

Supplemental Packages

Supplemental Firmware Service Pack for the following Power7 systems: 9117-MMB, 9179-MHB, and 9119-FHB.


This AM730 / AH730 service pack is intended for select Power7 midrange and high-end systems.

Prerequisite:
Only install the firmware below at the instruction of your service representative, or IBM Client Care, in relation to Utility Capacity on Demand (CoD). When this firmware is installed by an IBM service representative activities should be recorded under ECA 334.

Affected servers running a system firmware release of AM730 or AH730 may perform a concurrent update. Servers running a AM720 or AH720 release are required to perform a disruptive upgrade. Servers running release AM710 are not affected, but a disruptive upgrade to release AM730 is recommended. Servers running release AH760 are not affected.

This firmware is only for the following servers:

To access the contents in the .iso file, you must have access to a CD-R or CD-RW drive and software that is capable of creating a CD from an ISO 9660 formatted image.

Use your software's feature for creating a CD from an ISO image. Adaptec Easy CD Creator calls this feature "Create CD from CD image". RecordNow! and Nero Burning ROM call this feature "Burn Image". Refer to the help provided with your CD-R software for further assistance.

Supplemental Packages

Supplemental Firmware level 3R100224 for Systems 7028-6C4 and 7028-6E4 ONLY.

A change was made in the firmware to allow the processor/memory bus speed ratio to be changed by authorized service providers. This firmware level is only to be installed at the direction of Product Engineering.

Do NOT install this code unless advised by IBM Product Engineering.

You must have access to a CD-R or CD-RW drive and software that is capable of creating a CD from an ISO 9660 formatted image.

Use your software's feature for creating a CD from an ISO image. Adaptec Easy CD Creator calls this feature "Create CD from CD image". RecordNow! and Nero Burning ROM call this feature "Burn Image". Refer to the help provided with your CD-R software for further assistance.

Supplemental Packages

Supplemental Firmware Service Pack for 9110, 9111, 9113, 9131 and 9133 Power5 systems.

This SF240_390 Service Pack is intended for POWER5 systems than are not managed by an HMC. This Service Pack contains a fix for a problem that caused the serial port on the service processor to stop responding when a large number of characters were sent from an ASCII terminal in a short period of time.

If your 9110, 9111, 9113, 9131 and/or 9133 POWER5 system is managed by an HMC, there is no exposure to this issue and no need to install this Service Pack.

You must have access to a CD-R or CD-RW drive and software that is capable of creating a CD from an ISO 9660 formatted image.

Use your software's feature for creating a CD from an ISO image. Adaptec Easy CD Creator calls this feature "Create CD from CD image". RecordNow! and Nero Burning ROM call this feature "Burn Image". Refer to the help provided with your CD-R software for further assistance.

Memory Migration Considerations: Special considerations for MES orders with features 5605, 5611, or 5584

These features allow the DDR2 memory to be migrated to Power 595 (9119-FHA) from p590 (9119-590), p595 (9119-595) and i595 (9406-595) servers. However they require analysis of the memory on the existing machine prior to the start of the upgrade.

The SSR will need to install and run a special analysis tool on the existing POWER5 machine in order to determine how to proceed with the memory migration. The SF240_370_BP240_224.iso contains the necessary firmware/tool to support this MES. Product Engineering recommends that this firmware/tool is only installed on systems preparing to perform the above MESes.

You must have access to a CD-R or CD-RW drive and software that is capable of creating a CD from an ISO 9660 formated image.

Use your software's feature for creating a CD from an ISO image. Adaptec Easy CD Creator calls this feature "Create CD from CD image". RecordNow! and Nero Burning ROM call this feature "Burn Image". Refer to the help provided with your CD-R software for further assistance.
