I have located the below steps to upgrade to a new release of firmware.
I'm planning to shutdown all of my partitions in a few weeks since it is
a disruptive upgrade.
What I would like to know is can I download this new release to the HMC,
but not install till a later time.
Would I just not proceed with the Accept in step 4, but where would I
begin when I'm ready to install this release?

Upgrade Licensed Internal Code to a new release
A new release level of Licensed Internal Code (LIC) supports major new
function such as the introduction of new hardware models and significant
function or features enabled by firmware. In addition to the new
function and hardware support, new release levels also contain fixes.
Upgrading from one release level to another is disruptive to system
operations.
Release levels can be skipped. You can upgrade from release level A to
release level D without having to install release level B and C. New
release levels of LIC are installed with the this task.
To install a new release of Licensed Internal Code:
1. When you select Upgrade Licensed Internal Code to a new release,
a readiness check is performed on the system before the task progresses.
If the readiness check fails, actions needed to correct the problems
preventing the upgrade will be reported to you.
2. Choose a repository from which to upgrade your system. You may
upgrade from IBM's service web site, IBM's support system, or, if you
have already downloaded an upgrade to the HMC, an FTP site, or a DVD and
want to upgrade from those locations, choose that option.
3. Select the desired LIC update, managed system or power
subsystem.
4. Once verification of the repository content and targeted systems
completes, the license agreement panel displays. Select Accept on the
license agreement panel, and the confirmation panel displays.
5. If any actions are listed at the bottom of the confirmation
panel, complete them, and then click OK to confirm that the upgrade
should begin. A progress panel displays the results as the upgrade
proceeds. At the end of the process, the new release level of LIC will
be installed on both the t-side (temporary side) and the p-side
(permanent side).
