This allows a remote client to download a firmware image from the download library website, and then push the firmware to the server where it can be used in Inventory Manager operations such as firmware and boot PROM upgrades.
To access this window, select Tools > Push Local Firmware to Server. The Select Local Firmware File window opens, where you can navigate to the file you want to send. Select the file and click Open. The Push Local Firmware to Server window opens.
