HP SSM (System Software Manager)
HP SSM (System Software Manager) lets you remotely update system-level software on multiple
systems simultaneously. When executed on a client computer, SSM detects versions of both hardware
and software, and then updates designated software from a central repository, known as a file store.
Driver versions that are supported by SSM are denoted with a special icon on the HP driver download
Web site. To download the SSM utility or to obtain more information on SSM, see the HP Web site at
