Linux Device Drivers from Compaq
Your server must have certain device drivers to operate with the Linux
operating systems. The latest drivers, sources, support files, and driver
installation instructions for Linux are available on Compaq’s FTP server.
Linux support diskettes for several distributions are also available on the FTP
server:
ftp://ftp.compaq.com/pub/linux
The Linux Smart Array driver is present in Linux kernels 2.2.11 and newer,
which is available on the Internet:

IMPORTANT: Your ProLiant DL320 drive activity LED does not flash when you use the
Linux operating system and a nonarray SCSI controller.
