       1.0   Overview

              1.1  Hot Fix Paks are intended to provide an integrated solution for 'critical fixes' only. 
		   These Fix Paks are not intended to provide new features or functions thereby minimizing both the 
		   changes in firmware and the impact to customers' environments. 
		   Fix Paks are bundled as an integrated solution,though unless otherwise documented,
		   individual components can be discreetly updated.      
                   
              1.2  Limitations - NA

              1.3  Level of Recommendations and Prerequisites for the Update: Highly recommended

                        
              1.5  Dependencies - No known dependencies though each of these firmware components have been 
		   integration tested as a cumulative package.
