Using a hard drive
- Copy the contents of the compaqswpackages directory from the CD or ISO image to a directory on the hard drive where HP Smart Update Manager will be executed.
- Ensure that execute privileges are available in Linux by using the
chmod 700 *
command. By default, the files are copied off the CD in Linux as read-only with no execution privileges.
- Copy any updated files into the same directory where the files were copied in step 1.
- Execute HP Smart Update Manager to have the new firmware components recognized.
