Download the Firmware from Fix Central

Note: Web pages are dynamic and are occasionally updated (or removed). The following description for the download from the IBM Fix Central Support page was created in May 2023. If IBM makes changes to Fix Central after May 2023, the appearance may be different and/or the download process may be changed. In this case, the following description may not be entirely correct, or in the worst case, it may be completely outdated and incorrect.
