Online Flash components
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.
