This how-to will go through the process of updating the firmware on an HP switch. To check your current version run #show version from the command line. You will need a TFTP server for this. You can download one from http://www.solarwinds.com/products/freetools/free_tftp_server.aspx. Once installed, disable your Firewall or allow TFTP, UDP port 69, through it.
