Handling updates

Providing updates

Current security fixes are provided for downloading on the FUJITSU support pages. You download the updates required to your administration PC.

Alternatively, you can also receive updates such as hot fixes by email, on CD/DVD or by means of remote service.

When security requirements are more stringent, current security fixes must be installed regularly, see the Security Manual [7].
