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.
