Methods for updating the firmware

To update the firmware on the server, controller, or hard drives, use Smart Components. These components are available on the Firmware Maintenance CD. A more recent version of a particular server or controller component might be available on the support page of the HP website (http://www.hp.com/support). Components for controller and hard drive firmware updates are also available from the software and drivers page for storage products (http://www.hp.com/support/proliantstorage).

1.Find the most recent version of the component that you require. Components for controller firmware updates are available in offline and online formats.

2.Follow the instructions for installing the component on the server. These instructions are given with the CD and are provided on the same Web page as the component.

3.Follow the additional instructions that describe how to use the component to flash the ROM. These instructions are provided with each component.

For more information about updating the firmware, refer to the HP ProLiant Storage Firmware Maintenance User Guide (for controller and hard drive firmware) or the HP Online ROM Flash User Guide (for server firmware).
