This file describes the procedure to use for upgrading firmware on 
HP Ethernet networking adapters mentioned in the 'PRODUCTS AFFECTED'
section of this document.

User guides and additional HP network adapter information can be found at:
http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/networking/index-nic.html


Performing the Firmware Upgrade
===============================
1. This utility requires all the associated ethernet interfaces to be up. 
You can  bring up an ethernet interface by using the following command:

	# ifup ethx

	or

	# ifconfig ethx up
2. Firmware can be upgraded interactively using following command:

	# ./CP027933.scexe

3. The help menu lists all available command line options.

	# ./CP027933.scexe -h


Firmware Upgrade Log
====================
The results of the firmware upgrade are saved to the CP027933.log file
which is located at the /var/cpq/ directory. 


Important Information
======================
1) The adapter's ethernet interfaces may be down temporarily during the update process.
So any remote sessions via these interfaces will be disconnected temporarily.
