Introduction
============
This file describes the procedure to use for upgrading firmware on 
HPE 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. Firmware can be upgraded interactively using following command:

	# ./CP038880.scexe

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

	# ./CP038880.scexe -h


Firmware Upgrade Log
====================
The results of the firmware upgrade are saved to the CP038880.log file
which is located at the /var/cpq/ directory.  


Important Information
======================
1) Under certain scenarios, after updating the EPROM you may be 
required to reboot the unit and re-run this component to be able 
to update the flash ROM (OROM) on the adapters.
2) When updating the firmware on a given adapter, it is highly 
recommended to update both EPROM/NVM and OROM on it at the same time.
3) When downgrading firmware, reference Revision History and downgrade it 
to previous version as stepping down the ladder until the version needed.
4) AC Power Cycle is required after firmware installation for updates 
to take effect for the following network adapters:
HPE Ethernet 1Gb 2-port 368i Adapter
HPE Ethernet 1Gb 2-port 369i Adapter
HPE Ethernet 1Gb 2-port 368FLR-MMT Adapter
HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 568FLR-MMSFP+ Adapter
HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 568FLR-MMT Adapter
