MPE/iX Release 7.5 PowerPatch 2
MPE/iX and the e3000 have been dutifully serving HP customers for nearly 30 years. On November 14th,
2001 HP announced the end of sales for the HP e3000 and MPE/iX. That date (November 1, 2003 for end of
sales) has now passed. HP is pleased to announce the delivery of MPE/iX 7.5 PowerPatch 2 in June, 2004.
HP realizes that customers are planning their migration away from the e3000 and MPE/iX. We understand
that it is very important for our customers to have additional time to develop and implement their migration
strategy. HP recommends that customers chose the very latest in hardware and software in order to maximize
the value of their current HP e3000 environment during this transition period. Thus, HP has improved the
existing functionality and integrity of MPE/iX Release 7.5 with a proactive patch-set found in MPE/iX 7.5
PowerPatch 2.
End of Support Dates
HP will support the 6.5, 7.0 and 7.5 releases until December 31, 2006. HP encourages customers to update to
the latest release of either MPE/iX 7.0 or MPE/iX 7.5. These releases contain many performance and capacity
enhancements for high-end systems and bundled tools for using the HP e3000 with the Internet.
Additionally, customers who are planning their HP e3000 environment into the future should note that while
MPE/iX 7.5 is supported on currently supported 9xx series servers, many of the new storage capabilities in
7.5 are supported only on HP e3000 A-Class and N-Class servers.

HP is also formalizing plans to ensure the delivery of all e3000 software products through MPE
end-of-support. Besides exploring ways to improve efficiency in the distribution of MPE to our customers, our
focus is to anticipate and prevent any critical disruptions in customer operations due to HPe3000 software
product discontinuance.
