# Add a firmware bundle to the appliance firmware repository

To ensure that your hardware has the latest and most robust firmware bundle that takes advantage of all available management features, download the latest firmware bundle to your appliance and add it to the firmware repository.

| NOTE: If you are uploading the latest firmware bundle as part of first time setup configuration tasks, you can proceed with the initial configuration tasks while the firmware upload completes (the upload can take several minutes).

Prerequisites

- Required privileges: Infrastructure administrator, Network administrator, or Server administrator

- You have downloaded at least one SPP from http://www.hpe.com/info/spp to your local system
