Hardware Enablement Program

The Hardware Enablement (HWE) Program updates the content in the HWEnable11i

Patch Bundle, the HP-UX Support Tools (Online Diagnostics), and other HP-UX

software to support hardware on HP systems with an HP-UX 11i v2 Operating

Environment (OE). The HWEnable11i bundle and the HP-UX Support Tools provide

support for new and future systems, I/O adapters, and mass-storage products. This

HP-UX software is labeled as required, ignited on new systems in HP manufacturing,

and automatically loaded as part of any 11i v2 OE update.

In addition to the HP-UX 11i v2 OE media, the HWEnable11i bundle is available at the

IT Resource Center (http://itrc.hp.com) and at HP Software Depot

(http://software.hp.com).

For information on firmware requirements, see the HP-UX 11i Version 2 Installation and
