Learn how to get I/O adapter and device firmware fixes through i5/OS®.
The I/O adapter and device firmware is the part of the Licensed Internal Code that enables hardware, such as Ethernet PCI adapters or disk drives.
For i5/OS, I/O adapter and device firmware PTFs for i5/OS systems and logical partitions are ordered, packaged, delivered, and installed as part of the Licensed Internal Code using the same processes that apply to i5/OS PTFs.
Use the i5/OS PTF installation functions on each logical partition to download and install the I/O adapter and device firmware fixes. For instructions on how to install i5/OS fixes, see Order fixes.
