Device Drivers
The drivers for the controller are located on the Support Software CD or the
SmartStart CD that is provided in the controller kit. Updates are posted to the HP
website (http://www.hp.com/support).
Using the Support Software CD: Instructions for installing the drivers from the
Support Software CD are given in the leaflet that is supplied with the CD. Note that
the exact procedure depends on whether the server is new or already contains the
operating system and user data.
Using the SmartStart CD: If you use the Assisted Installation path feature of
SmartStart to install the operating system on a new server, the drivers are
automatically installed at the same time.
You can also use SmartStart to update the drivers manually on older systems. For
more information, refer to the SmartStart documentation.
