Insert the "IBM Netfinity 5500 Diagnostics Flash Update Diskette 1 of 2" into drive A. 2. Start up or restart your IBM Netfinity 5500 server. 3. The system will boot off of the diskette and present a window which allows you the option to flash various options. Choose "2 - Update Diagnostic". Then choose "1 = United States". 4. After loading the image from the diskette the system will prompt you to enter the second flash diskette which is labeled "IBM Netfinity 5500 Diagnostics Flash Update Diskette 2 of 2" and hit enter. 5.
