For Matrix 6.1 and 6.2 customers, if there are BL460c G7 server blades whose NC553i Dual Port

FlexFabric 10Gb Converged Network Adapter version is earlier than 2.102.517.701, HP

recommends updating the NC553i to 2.102.517.703.

In an HP CloudSystem Matrix environment, HP recommends as a best practice to update firmware

component types in the following order:

1. Blade server firmware (system ROM, iLO, NIC)

2. Onboard Administrator (OA) firmware

3. Virtual Connect (VC) firmware

The only upgrades that must be done offline are the system ROMs and the HP NC553i for BL460c

G7 blades.
