In fact it's the other way around: they used to be called IHP120 and IHP140
but they were renamed to H120 and H140 (due to trademark claims by
Hewlett-Packard on the "HP"). But you say you have an H140, so you should
download the H120/140 firmware - and NOT the H100 or H110 firmware from that
same page. The H100 and H110 firmware is not compatible with the H140!
