Downloading and installing System Enablement Packs (SEPs)

System Enablement Packs (SEPs) are collections of system-specific utilities, drivers, and scripts required to support a specific set of machine types.  You can use SEPs to add support for systems that were released after the most current version of the Toolkit.
