Online Flash components
This component provides updated system firmware that can be installed directly on supported Operating
Systems. Additionally, when used in conjunction with HP SUM
this Smart Component allows the user to update firmware on remote servers from a central location. This
remote deployment capability eliminates the need for the user to be physically present at the server to
perform a firmware update.

Drivers

IMPORTANT:
The server includes new hardware that may not have driver support on all OS installation media.
If you are installing an Intelligent Provisioning-supported OS, use Intelligent Provisioning (on page 94) and its
Configure and Install feature to install the OS and latest supported drivers.
Always perform a backup before installing or updating device drivers.
