Existing PCIe IO Accelerator Installation
To install the latest PCIe IO Accelerator Windows software on an existing installation,
complete the steps under Hardware Installation if you also installed a new PCIe IO
Accelerator to the existing installation.
Review the Release Notes document available for this version of the software for additional
steps that may be needed to complete the install.
Log in as Administrator or have Administrator rights.
Uninstall the existing driver, utilities, etc., using Programs, or Add or Remove Programs
(depending on your version of Windows), in the Control Panel.
Restart the server.
NOTE: The installation program does not remove previous versions of the software. If a
previous version is removed after the newest version is installed, the driver will no
longer load after a restart. In that case, you need to a) run the Repair option in the
installation program, from Programs and Features (or Add or Remove Programs) in the
Control Panel, and b) restart the server.
Download the PCIe IO Accelerator installation program for Windows
from http://www.hp.com/support

Run the PCIe IO Accelerator installation program. See Using the Setup Wizard in the New
Installation section for details.
