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
If you used the SmartStart Assisted Installation path to install the operating system on 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 www.hp.com/servers/manage.
