Firmware and Software Updates

Firmware and software for your server are updated periodically. These updates are
made available as software releases. The software releases are a set of downloadable
files (patches) that include all available firmware, software, hardware drivers, tools,
and utilities for the server. All these files have been tested together and verified to
work with your server.
You should update your server firmware and software as soon as possible after a
new software release becomes available. Software releases often include bug fixes,
and updating your server ensures that your server has the latest firmware and
software.
