This component provides updated system firmware that can be installed directly on supported operating
systems. Additionally, when used in conjunction with SUM, this Smart Component allows the user to update
firmware on remote servers from a central location. This remote deployment capability eliminates the need for
the user to be physically present at the server to perform a firmware update.
