Documentation may be available in the form of a hardcopy book, an online book, or both. While you can order most books identified in this document as separate entities, you may receive some books with the ship group for a product when you order a system unit, device, feature, or software program. Other books can be obtained only by placing a separate order. Most online documentation is shipped with software products. Each hardcopy book or online book is identified in this document according to whether it is shipped with a product or whether you should contact your sales representative for assistance in ordering it separately. You can always order additional copies of hardcopy books described here.
