Abstract
Automated update to the firmware of the optimum version can be performed when a system board is exchanged, etc. When a system board is exchanged, a version change unit compares the version of the firmware of the system board with the version of the firmware of the corresponding partition stored in the partition-specific version storage unit. When they do not match, the version of the firmware of the system board is updated to the same version stored in the partition-specific version storage unit.
