The system firmware files, installation instructions, and release notes with detailed firmware version information can be obtained by selecting Download Drivers and Software at http://www.hp.com/go/bizsupport.

Be sure to read the Release Notes for the firmware to ensure a successful update. In general, HP recommends that you update to the latest firmware available before installing or updating to HP-UX 11i v3.
