Do you have a direct download link for the server side update ?
April 23, 2009 at 2:52 pm
Don’t find link and my server does not find the download when click on CHECK FOR UPDATES.
Any ideas?

and what about EX470/475? would we be able to obtain such download, or will it be restricted to the new versions? I hope anyone may come out with the direct download link, test it, and let us know if there’s anything that the good old EX470/475 can’t do with it.

The 2.5 update is explicitly designed for EX-485/EX-487 models.
Rumors suggest that HP is working on getting some functionality found on the 2nd gen MSS onto the 1st gen EX-470/EX-475. Let us hope so
