Software Releases
            Software releases on My Oracle Support are grouped by product family (such as
                Oracle Server), then the product (the specific server or blade), and finally the
                software release version. A software release contains all the updated software and
                firmware for your server or blade 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 file and a set of subdirectories
                containing firmware or software files. The ReadMe file provides details on the
                components that have changed since the prior software release and the bugs that have
                been fixed. 
            My Oracle Support provides the set of software releases for your server as
                described in the following table. You can obtain these software releases by
                downloading the files from My Oracle Support.
