About Firmware Versions

New versions of firmware may contain new features and product enhancements. To ensure that you have the latest improvements, it is highly recommended that you run the latest firmware version available. To obtain the latest version of firmware available for use on the Sun Blade 8000 Modular System, refer to the official Sun web site: http://www.sun.com/servers/blades/8000/downloads.jsp.

If a new Server Module (blade) is inserted into a Sun Blade 8000 Modular System, the blade might have a different version of firmware loaded on it than the other blades already installed in the system. The firmware version on a newly installed blade can be changed so that it matches the version loaded on all of the blades already installed in the system. Matching the firmware versions is not a requirement.
