System Software Manager
System Software Manager (SSM) is a utility that lets you update system-level software on multiple systems simultaneously. 
When executed on a PC client system, SSM detects both hardware and software versions, then updates the appropriate 
software from a central repository, also known as a file store. Driver versions that are supported by SSM are denoted 
with a special icon on the software, the driver download Web site, and on the Support Software CD. To download the 
utility or to obtain more information on SSM, visit http://www.hp.com/go/ssm
