System Software Manager
System Software Manager (SSM) is a utility that enables you to update system-level software on multiple
systems simultaneously. When executed on a PC client system, SSM detects hardware and software
versions and then updates the 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 software, the driver
download Web site, and on the Support Software CD. To download the utility or to obtain more
information about SSM, see http://www.hp.com/go/ssm.
