 As of March 2018, the x3650 servers do have the latest available firmware and should not need any firmware updates unless Lenovo requires it for replacement parts.  If updated firmware is needed, it can be installed from within the IMM2 web interface.
-=vSphere Hypervisor=
+=vSphere ESXI Hosts=
 The vSphere (ESX) hypervisor is installed on the USB thumb drive that is plugged into the internal motherboard port for each server.  The customized Lenovo version of the ESX installer was used as it is pre-compiled with all of the device drivers present in Lenovo branded hardware.  Each server, now known as a host, is set to only boot from that USB thumb drive.  The hypervisor operating system boots and loads into memory and is thusly ready to house and run virtual machines.
