I have been told that microcode upgrade is a CE task for both p670 and p690.
I don't think there's much you can do about that, as I don't think you can
obtain it yourself by approved channels. (I must admit I haven't checked
this.)
Adapter cards is a bit iffy. They SAY it's a CE task - there's a bit of a
knack to it, and the opportunity to break things - but I know of people who
change their own. I don't think we do on our p690s, though. (We don't
actually have any p670s.)
