o Removed drivers for Windows® PSPs:
— SmartStart version 7.91 was the last release that contains Windows® 2000 PSP. Windows
2000 PSP has not been updated since version 7.60 and will continue to be available on the
web for download.
— SmartStart and Windows 2003 PSP 7.91 provided the baseline support for the following
drivers/utilities. Therefore, these drivers and utilities will not be included in the next release of
Windows 2003 PSP or SmartStart assisted install:
- HP ProLiant CSB-6 ATA-100 IDE RAID Driver for Windows® 2000/Windows Server® 2003
(lsicsb6.sys) - CP006269
- HP ProLiant CSB-6 ATA-100 IDE RAID Management Utility for Windows® 2000/Windows
Server® 2003 (SPY Utility) - CP005789

Server® 2003 (megaide.sys) – CP005783
- HP ProLiant Integrated ATA RAID Management Utility for Windows (SPY Utility) - CP005788
- HP Virus Throttle for Windows Server® 2003
- HP Virus Throttle for Windows Server® 2003 x64 Editions
— Because the drivers and utilities listed above will not be updated in the next release of the
Windows 2003 PSP or in SmartStart versions beyond version 7.91, SmartStart 7.91 and
Windows 2003 PSP 7.91 provided the baseline support for the following servers:
- HP ProLiant ML310 Server
- HP ProLiant DL320 Generation 2 Server
