Does the HP e3000 Hardware and Software Upgrade Policy and new AD377A product offering affect you?
Only if you are planning to upgrade your HP e3000 systems in the future. Since the HP e3000 ended sales for systems, add-on components, and upgrade kits in 2004, customers who want to upgrade
their existing e3000 systems have begun asking HP for guidelines on how they can ensure that their upgraded systems are meeting HP's MPE/iX Right to Use (RTU) license and e3000 hardware upgrade
requirements.
As a result of these requests, a Hardware and Software Policy Statement has been generated to clarify possible confusion in the marketplace about upgrades. We have also created a stand-alone MPE/iX
RTU license product (AD377A) that is not coupled with any secondary hardware system sales. With these two deliverables, HP hopes to make the HP e3000 hardware upgrade process in the secondary market
clearer and more manageable.
If you are planning to perform any upgrades to your existing e3000 systems, please read the following communications to gain a solid understanding of HP's requirements:
» HP e3000 hardware and software upgrade policy statement
» Supported HP e3000 hardware upgrade paths

» HP e3000 Right to Use license levels for AD377A matrix
» HP e3000 chassis product number identification matrices
