Server), the product (specific server), and the software release version. A software
release contains all the updated software and firmware for your server as a set of
downloadable files (patches), including firmware, drivers, tools, or utilities, all
tested together to be compatible with your server. Each patch is a zip file that
contains a ReadMe document and a set of subdirectories containing firmware or software
files.
