patches for your system. Release Notes are available on the Web at http://docs.hp.com under Networking

Step 6: Install the latest software.
• Load the software media into the appropriate drive. If you are adding the Gigabit Ethernet software
bundle (GigEther-01) for HP-UX 11i v 1.0, you can get the Gigabit Ethernet driver on the December
2004 (or later) OE distribution media. If loading this product for 11i v 2.0 for the first time, you must load
the entire September 2004 (or later) OE distribution media and you’ll get the needed drivers. Once you’ve
got the required full HP-UX OE installed, you will be able to select and load just the driver bundle if you
want.
• Run the swinstall program to install the software using the command: swinstall.
