Right-click on one of the highlighted hubs or switches. A pop-up menu will appear.  

 

 
Select Update Firmware to launch the HP Download Manager. 
 

 

Select the devices that need to be updated. 

When the 

Download Control

 dialog box appears, it lists the devices you selected (in the example here, 

there is only one) along with the version numbers of the firmware currently loaded on each. Compare this 
version number with the version available for downloading. If the versions are the same, you need not 
proceed further. If the "Download Version" is older than the "Current Version" you probably have an 
outdated CD in your drive. Do not proceed. If the "Download Version" is newer than the "Current Version" 
you can highlight the item(s) and proceed.
