Upgrading software

Periodically the caching application that runs on the Intel NetStructure Cache

Appliance might need upgrading or might need to have a patch applied. In this

case, visit Intel’s ISP web site at http://www.intel.com/isp and go to the product

page for your appliance. That page contains information on the latest software

versions and patches that might apply.
