FIRMWARE INFORMATION
Firmware Version: 45.44
Information Menu: Enter command >
So this machine has 45.44 on it.
Find the latest version of firmware at HP. Go to HP's support site. Under Downloads, click on "Download drivers, software and firmware". Pick Servers. Pick "HP9000 Servers". Pick your model number (in this case, "HP 9000 rp4440 Servers"). Pick "Cross operating system (BIOS, Firmware, Diagnostics, etc.)". Navigate down to "rp4410/rp4440 PDC/BMC/MP Firmware".
There's the "Release Notes" which are the instructions. Read this (maybe print this). The latest firmware is 46.34C, so yes, we need to update it. You should *ALWAYS* update stale system firmware.
Download the software. Gunzip it. Untar it. You'll be left with an .iso. Burn the .iso to CD. Put the CD in the drive.
Update the System Firmware
In the BCH menu, go back to the Main Menu. Start a SEArch to find the bootable devices, pick the CD (in my example path 0, P0) and boot from it. Then, follow the prompts.

Updating Other Optional Components
Your machine's ITRC page at HP may list other items that may have firmware that may need to be loaded. Usually these are things like particular hard drives or disk controllers. Read the release notes, see if they apply to you, and if so, then load them. The procedure varies depending on which type of component you are updating.
