Using HP Smart Update Manager with HP Integrity Servers: Capabilities, Best Practices, and Troubleshooting

Files to Download

Underneath each bundle, there might be two or three files listed.

1) The main firmware bundle.

This will be the .exe or .tar.gz file, which is the main firmware bundle.

This is the only file that is required to be downloaded.

Once downloaded and optionally verified:

• On Windows: execute the .exe file as you would any program and you will be

presented with an option to extract the files to a directory.

• On Linux: extract the tar.gz file using ‘tar –xvf <filename>’ or a Linux graphical archive

management utility.

2) The MD5 checksum file

This file can be used to validate the integrity of the main downloaded bundle using an MD5

check program. It can be used by a MD5 checksum validation tool (such as md5sum on Linux) to

verify the downloaded firmware image is the one expected and there was no corruption during

the download.

3) [possibly] A bundle contents file

This file is not needed and is being removed from download pages as soon as possible.
