System Software Manager

System Software Manager (SSM) is a utility that enables you to update system-level software on multiple
systems simultaneously. When executed on a PC client system, SSM detects both hardware and
software versions, and then updates the appropriate software from a central repository, also known as
a file store. Driver versions that are supported by SSM are denoted with a special icon on the software,
the driver download Web site, and on the Support Software CD. To download the utility or to obtain more
information about SSM, see http://www.hp.com/go/ssm.
