*Virtual Connect firmware components are not shipped with the HP Firmware Maintenance CD because
of their size (approximately 50 MB per component). However, if the Virtual Connect firmware
components are downloaded from the HP website, they can be added to the Firmware Maintenance CD
by creating a USB key using the USB Key Utility. The latest version can be obtained from the HP
BladeSystem Firmware Maintenance website
**MDS600 firmware update requires HP Smart Update Manager 3.6.0 or later. All blades in an
enclosure with Smart Array P700M controllers, except the blade doing the update, must be turned off
before the firmware update process is initiated. MDS600 firmware can only be updated using the
Firmware Maintenance CD in offline mode.
