Upgrading device drivers

If you install a peripheral device (such as a printer, display adapter, or network adapter), confirm you have the latest device drivers loaded. If you purchased your device through HP, visit the HP website to download the latest drivers for your device. These drivers have been tested to ensure the best compatibility between your device and your HP workstation.

If you did not purchase your device from HP, HP recommends visiting the HP website first to see if your device and its drivers have been tested for HP workstation compatibility. If no driver is available, visit the device manufacturer's website to download the latest drivers.

To upgrade device drivers:

1.Go to http://www.hp.com/go/workstationsupport.

2.Under Tasks in the left column, select Download Drivers and Software.

3.Follow the instructions to find the latest drivers available for the workstation.

If a needed driver is not found, see the website of the manufacturer of the peripheral device.
