How Does HP ESCON PA Microcode Ship?

For the Cisco 7200 series routers, when the HP ESCON PA is ordered as part of a new system, the

HP ESCON PA microcode is available on a Flash memory card or SanDisk memory device (which also includes the Cisco IOS release compatible with the microcode version) and via Cisco.com. When the HP ESCON PA is ordered as a spare, the HP ESCON PA microcode is available via Cisco.com.

Note The HP ESCON PA-compatible microcode images are virtually bundled with all Cisco IOS releases that support HP ESCON PAs. The virtual bundling of the microcode means that the microcode software is loaded separately by the Cisco IOS software.
