HP SSM (System Software Manager)
HP SSM lets you remotely update system-level software on multiple systems simultaneously. When
executed on a client computer, SSM detects versions of both hardware and software, and then updates
designated software from a central repository, known as a file store. Driver versions that are supported
by SSM are denoted with a special icon on the HP driver download Web site and on the Support
Software CD. To download the SSM utility or to obtain more information on SSM, see the HP Web site
