Firmware and Software Updates
Firmware and software for your server are updated periodically. These updates are made
available as software releases. The software releases are a set of downloadable files (patches)
that include all available firmware, software, hardware drivers, tools, and utilities for the server.
All of these files have been tested together and verified to work with your server.
You must update your server firmware and software as soon as possible after a new software
release becomes available. Software releases often include bug fixes, and updating your server
ensures that your server has the latest firmware and software. These updates will increase your
system performance, security, and stability.
