System Software Manager

System Software Manager (SSM) is a utility available on Windows workstations that enables you to update system-level software on multiple systems simultaneously. When executed on a PC client system, SSM detects hardware and software versions and then updates the software from a central repository, known as a file store. Driver versions supported by SSM are noted with a special icon on the software, the driver download Web site, and on the Support Software CD.

To download the utility or to obtain more information about SSM, see http://www.hp.com/go/ssm.

●Send Proactive Change Notification (PCN) e-mail informing you up to 60 days in advance of hardware and software changes to most commercial workstations and servers

●Send you e-mail containing customer bulletins, customer advisories, customer notes, and driver alerts for most commercial workstations and servers

You can create a profile to ensure you receive only the information relevant to the specific IT environment.
