Selecting the location to check for updates
The Source Selections screen enables you to select components from a directory and the HP FTP site
(
ftp://ftp.hp.com ) as a location for obtaining updates to your systems. You can also select components
that have already been downloaded. You can use up to all three of the following methods simultaneously.
NOTE: For offline deployments, the Source Selections screen does not appear.
