FIRMWARE PACK

As an alternative to the Multi-Boot Image Update Kit on the Oracle OEM portion of the Broadcom Emulex Connectivity Division (ECD) website, some platforms now offer a firmware pack. For example, Patch 26413467 Oracle Server X5-2 SW 1.10.0 - FIRMWARE PACK also now includes updated firmware for the platform as well as Fibre Channel and SAS HBAs, disk, etc.
