If HP keeps unreasonable pricing in other countries like in Canada, or even more, fails to offer simple update for users in any country, anywhere in the world NOW вЂ“ then the path of least resistance and fastest for many is to look elsewhere вЂ“ typically the bittorent area. HP should make acquiring this update brain-simple and fair-priced.

Not only the most expensive carrier, but only currier that often charges on delivery (suprice, suprice) additional 10-15$ for their вЂњborder agentsвЂќ вЂ“ which $60CAD DVD + $15Fedex extra = 77$CAD ($68US) ! Quite expensive proposition suddenly for $25US DVD ! (for information USPS Priority IntвЂ™l mail would be $11.45, total $36.45US (25DVD+11.45Shipping) if you didnвЂ™t know) To not only charge outrageous $59.62CAD (~54$US) for the update but also force to be shipped with only 1 choice -Fedex Air.

It is inexcusable sloppiness and disregard from HP Team to offer only DVD. Not 60вЂІies buying stuff from Sears catalog. iso from HP, not a 70$US DVD shipped from US to Canada ! Common, its just software update and we are in 2010. HP MSS Team failed, once again with this update, exactly in distribution and fair pricing, definitely here in Canada (I am also from Edmonton). We thank everyone for their continued support of the MediaSmart Server family of products. Then follow the path for your MediaSmart Server model number to order the upgrades.

To order the upgrade DVD, visit and enter your product model number in the вЂњSupport and DriversвЂќ section. HP recommends that you back up all server files prior to installing the upgrade.ДЈ) This upgrade is not recommended for EX470/475 owners who have not already upgraded their Server DRAM to 1GB as certain features will not function. Please note the previously communicated information related to these updates:ДЎ) The cost of the upgrade DVD has been finalized and will be US$25 or в‚¬25.Дў) These upgrades will be available as a server recovery solution. These optional updates are available to purchase for owners of our EX470/475/485/487 products who want to upgrade their servers to the latest 3.0 software that is shipping on the EX490/495 products. The 3.0 software update DVD will be available to order beginning later this week, with shipments beginning next week. HP MediaSmart Server 3.0 Software Update Availability In the mean time, you can read the full release from HP below. Watch this site for my upgrade guide coming in the next day or so. I have seen placeholders for the ordering page on the HP site, weвЂ™ll be sure to let you know when the links are live. The guides are also included on the upgrade disks, but IвЂ™m providing these copies with the permission of HP to give you a chance to review them prior to performing the update.Д®X470 and EX475 Software Update Guide (right-click and Save-As)Д®X485 and EX487 Software Update Guide (right-click and Save-As)

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 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 youвЂ™re planning on installing this update. Both sets include all three disks that you need: Client Software Install CD, PC Restore CD, and the Server Recovery DVD. There are two versions of the software, one for the EX470 and EX475, the other for the EX485 and EX487. IвЂ™ve had copies of the upgrade DVDвЂ™s for about two weeks now and have performed the Server Recovery process on both an EX475 and EX487, with much better results than I experienced last time. 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.
