Acquire Location

You can choose to acquire updates, tools and bootable image from Lenovo support web site or from local directory.

Check the Lenovo support web site - Downloads the appropriate updates automatically from the Lenovo support site.

UpdateXpress System Packs (UXSP's) - UpdateXpress System Packs contain an integration-tested bundle of online, updateable firmware updates for each ThinkSystem / System X platform. This is the preferred method to obtain firmware for the server.

Latest available individual updates - Check the Lenovo support web site for the latest individual version of each firmware package. This is the preferred method when you wish to install the latest updates or when Lenovo support instructs you to install the latest updates. This option may download newer updates and hotfixes, if available, than the UXSP option above.

Look in a local directory - Specify a directory on the local file system containing specific individual files to include in the bootable media. The directory should have been populated with the required files either in a previous session of this tool, or manually. See here for specific requirements on manually obtaining required files.
