Software releases on My Oracle Support are grouped by product family, then product, then software release version. The version contains one or more downloads (patches).
For servers and blades, the pattern is similar. The product is the server. Each server contains a set of releases. These releases are not true software product releases, but rather are releases of updates for the server. These updates are called software releases and comprise several downloads, all tested together. Each download contains firmware, drivers, or utilities.
My Oracle Support provides the set of software releases for this server family as shown in the following table. These can also be requested through a physical media request (PMR).

Each of the downloads is a zip file that contains a ReadMe file and a set of subdirectories containing firmware or software files. The ReadMe file contains details on the components that have changed since the prior software release and the bugs that have been fixed.
