Re: .3) Ask your CE if there are any hardware PTFs that should be
acquired
in your case

We upgraded our hardware (to 8204-E8A) after the 5-4-5 upgrade; that was
the reason we made the change.

During our latest round of PTFs there was a question about the "MH" PTFs
- these have to do with the hardware used in place of an HMC-- there was
a caution that we might need to install an MH PTF using a thumb drive
plugged into the back of the CPU! Normally, you just install the
MH-PTFs, power the machine off cold, and the service processor magically
finds the MH PTF and installs it in the right place. The issue had to
do (IIRC) with a PTF required to allow the "power-off-install" process
to work properly. If I understood the explanation, if the "MHs" had
been upgraded from one level to another, you needed to use the thumb
drive. Fortunately, the version we had was installed at the factory and
had never been updated in the 'bad way' so we could use the
power-off-install. Check the documentation for the MH PTFs!
