Using the EasyUpdate Firmware Updater tool

ThinkServer EasyUpdate Firmware Updater is a software application that enables you to maintain your

system firmware up to date and helps you avoid unnecessary outages. Firmware Updater updates the

server firmware in two steps, by updating system firmware, adapter firmware, and hard disk drive

(HDD) firmware.

To update your system, first go to the Lenovo Support Web site and obtain the ISO file.

1. Go to http://www.lenovo.com/support.

2. Enter your product number (machine type and model number) or select Servers and Storage from the

Select your product list.

3. From Family list, select ThinkServer RS210, and click Continue.

4. Click Downloads and drivers to download firmware updates.

5. Download the ThinkServer firmware update media ISO file.

6. Burn the ISO image on to a CD or DVD.

7. Insert the media in the server DVD drive, and start the server to that drive.

8. The application starts automatically. Hardware detection runs, and a list of applicable firmware

updates is displayed.

Note: You need to boot the CD or DVD two times; one time to update the system and adapter

firmware and one time to update the HDD firmware.

9. Select the firmware updates that you want to install.

Before distributing the firmware update to other servers, ensure that your server can restart successfully

without encountering hardware problems.

Starting the backup server firmware

The system board contains a backup copy area for the server firmware. This is a secondary copy of the

server firmware that you update only during the process of updating the server firmware. If the primary

copy of the server firmware becomes damaged, use this backup copy.

To force the server to start from the backup copy, turn off the server; then, place the JP6 jumper in the

backup position (pins 2 and 3).

Use the backup copy of the server firmware until the primary copy is restored. After the primary copy is

restored, turn off the server; then, move the JP6 jumper back to the primary position (pins 1 and 2).

Recovering the UEFI firmware

If the UEFI firmware has become damaged, such as from a power failure during an update, you can

recover the UEFI firmware using the boot block jumper and a UEFI recovery diskette.

The system board contains a backup copy area for the server firmware. This is a secondary copy of the

server firmware that you update only during the process of updating the server firmware. If the primary

copy of the server firmware becomes damaged, use this backup copy.
