IBM information and firmware
I have created an IBM firmware spreadsheet which you can download in pdf and excel format, but do double check the information with the IBM support site and test the firmware in your environment.
Please note that some firmware might be dependent on your drivers/driver pack being up to date, so do test before making changes on any production/sensitive servers.
Below, Ive written the server model with the date of the online firmware that is downloadable on the IBM site, the latest supported firmware. I intend on checking this once a month, but do check the IBM support site as well:
