NX-OS IMAGES AND MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE UPDATES Customers can receive updates faster and more efficiently via electronic download by using HP Software Update Manager (SUM). This is a feature available as part of the support agreement available online within the HP IT Resource Center (ITRC) at http://www.itrc.hp.com/. SUM provides online access to view support entitlements, manage release notification profiles, and download available new software updates as they are available. Customers can receive email notifications of updates by registering and selecting the e-mail notification method. HP strongly recommends customers register in SUM and select e-mail as a notification option. Customers with a software support agreement can obtain the most current NX-OS software from the HP SUM website: http://www.itrc.hp.com/service/sum/home.do 1.
