Drivers

The server includes new hardware that may not have driver support on all
operating system installation media.
If you are installing a SmartStart supported operating system, use the SmartStart
software (on page 65) and its Assisted Path feature to install the operating system
and latest driver support.
NOTE: If you are installing drivers from the SmartStart CD or the
Software Maintenance CD, refer to the SmartStart website
(http://www.hp.com/servers/smartstart) to be sure that you are using the
latest version of SmartStart. For more information, refer to the
documentation provided with the SmartStart CD.
If you do not use the SmartStart CD to install an operating system, drivers for
some of the new hardware are required. These drivers, as well as other option
drivers, ROM images, and value-add software can be downloaded from the HP
website (http://www.hp.com/support).
IMPORTANT: Always perform a backup before installing or updating
device drivers.
