How Sun Blade 6000 Firmware Is Released

The firmware is incorporated into new chassis, blade, and network express module (NEM) products at the factory. However, it is updated periodically in packages called either “software updates” or “firmware updates.”

All of these updates are released for either a single server module, NEM, or the Sun Blade 6000 chassis.

For server modules, software updates can include software and firmware. The chassis has no software, so the chassis software updates contain only firmware. The NEM software updates might include software drivers and firmware.

For a major release, the first number of the release changes, for example, from 2.0 to 3.0. For a minor release, the second number changes, for example from 2.0. to 2.1.
