NonStop System Console Installer Guide

12 Installing Halted State Services (HSS) (T8004BAE)
NOTE: This HSS firmware is for all NonStop systems running J-series software with the exception
of NS2000 series. If you are managing only systems for which this console-based HSS firmware
does not apply, uncheck HSS in the NonStop System Management Tools Master Installer list. There
is no harm if accidentally installed: simply delete the firmware files from their original download
location C:\Images by uninstalling HSS as described in step 1 below.
The HSS Version option under the Display menu in the OSM Low-Level Link shows the HSS version
already on the console to use for possible firmware updates. While applicable systems do not use
the new HSS version until you perform the HSS updates described in “HSS Update Procedure”
(page 37), you should always update both primary and backup NonStop system consoles when
installing new software products.
