The "More Information" section of this article outlines several scenarios to help you decide which update, if any, to install.

NOTE: In any of the following situations, if you already applied the SR-1 update, you cannot apply the SR-1a update, nor do you need to apply it. If you try to run the SR-1a update when the SR-1 update has already been applied, the SR-1a update advises you that the update has already been installed and will not continue.
