Populate the appliance firmware repository

2.Download firmware bundles from HP to the appliance.

Upload firmware bundles and apply them to your hardware to ensure that you have the latest firmware and can take advantage of all available management features.

•At least one authentication directory configured in the appliance

•Default directory (when multiple directories are configured)
