Finding Firmware Information
Firmware changes frequently. Make sure your system has the latest firmware installed
to support, for example, the latest versions of I/O adapters, mass storage devices, and
devices used when you install from media or a network depot.
• For a matrix of system firmware for PCI I/O adapters and HP-UX 11i boot support,
as well as the minimum firmware requirements for HP-UX 11i v1, refer to the
documents at http://docs.hp.com/en/hw.html#System%20Firmware.

Web site at http://itrc.hp.com.
Log in to your appropriate region. Click maintenance and support (for hp
products), then find individual patches and firmware.
If you have to patch your firmware, the ITRC provides a patch database to search, as
well as patch documentation that provides information on how to patch the
firmware.
• HP also provides the Subscriber’s Choice, which enables you to sign up to receive
email notices for firmware updates. At the ITRC Web site, click maintenance and
support (for hp products), then support information digests.
