Installing the Device Drivers

and Management Agents

Installing the Device Drivers

The drivers for the controller are located on the Support Software CD and on the

SmartStart CD. Updates are posted to

www.hp.com.

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 used the SmartStart Assisted Installation path 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 further information, refer to the SmartStart documentation.

Updating the Management Agents

a new server, the Management Agents are automatically installed at the same time.

The Management Agents can also be manually updated using the SmartStart CD or

the Management CD. For the procedure, refer to the documentation on the

Management CD or on
