IMPORTANT: HP recommends using the latest released version of system firmware. This table lists the minimum firmware
requirements: on each server indicated, vPars supports the system firmware version listed here and greater.

Although no firmware upgrade is required to go from A.03.01 to A.03.02, you may want to upgrade to the latest
firmware version for the latest firmware fixes, specifically in the December 2004 HWE. For more information on the
firmware releases, see the firmware release notes for your specific server, available within the firmware patches from
the ITRC at http://www2.itrc.hp.com/service/patch/mainPage.do.

When installing firmware on these systems, please refer to Installing Firmware Patches on the rp5470/L3000 and
rp7400/N4000 in the HP-UX Virtual Partitions Administrator Guide.

This firmware is added to the system on a special scree board (1253-5394). Customers should either download the
latest version firmware on their system before installing vPars, or contact their HP Service Representative for help. For
more information, please go to the HP IT Resource Center at http://itrc.hp.com. The firmware is available at ftp://
ftp.itrc.hp.com/firmware_patches/hp/cpu/.

If you are upgrading the Superdome firmware, the upgrade must be performed by Hewlett-Packard qualified service
personnel only. Please contact your local HP Support Representative to schedule a convenient time for this firmware
upgrade service. Please note that all cells within the Superdome should be upgraded to the same level.

A firmware update is not required to move from A.03.xx to A.04.xx for Superdome servers with PA-8600 or PA-8700
processors.
