Please select the appropriate kernel from the list based on your SAP system setup like 32 / 64bit ,

files into the desired server in which you would like to perform kernel upgrade.
Best practice is to download N-1 kernel patch from the Service Market Place. It means if the current kernel
patch is 176 and the prior kernel patch is 150 and if you are in a lower kernel version (for ex: 124 etc), it is
better to upgrade to N-1 kernel patch i.e. to 150 instead of upgrading directly to 176. The reason for this is
sometimes upgrading to latest kernel may lead to some issues like performance problems, system startup
failure etc. To avoid this, it is suggested to apply N-1 kernel patch.
