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
• For the latest HP-UX 11i firmware updates, go to the IT Resource
Center (ITRC) 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.
