HP has sent along the message that many of you have been anxious to hear for quite some time now: the 3.0 software update for the EX470/EX475/EX485/EX487 servers will be available later this week and will start shipping next week.

There are two versions of the software, one for the EX470 and EX475, the other for the EX485 and EX487. Both sets include all three disks that you need: Client Software Install CD, PC Restore CD, and the Server Recovery DVD. I will agree with the guidance by HP that you need to have at least 1GB of RAM (2GB is ideal) in your server to get decent performance so be sure to upgrade that first if you’re planning on installing this update. Also, the update does include a version of the Twonky media streaming software that is newer than the version included with the 3.0 patch 1 software on the EX490 and EX495 servers, and I did not encounter the same crippling CPU load issue as I experienced previously. I have also made the install guides from HP available for you to download, be sure to read them thoroughly before you upgrade.

@Wonko: Ok, I will try to remember how I got there (I just tried it directly through the link but you need to enter a product code if you want to order a recovery CD from there). So there you go: 1.) Go the HP website.

2.) Click on “Support and Drivers” 3.) Select “Download Driver & Firmware” 4.) Enter your product, e.g. “EX475″ in the “for product” field.

5.) Now select “Windows 7 (64 bit)” as an operating system (don’t ask me why, but it worked for me). 6.) This will take to you to a page with a direct link to the best2serve store. When I just tried this again, it seemed to work for the UK store but not the German store. I have no idea why. I understand everyone is anxious to get the update, however please understand that HP says the update will be available later this week. This does not mean it is available this moment.
