Completing the Adapter Installation

Procedure 25 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 Hewlett Packard
Enterprise website (http://www.hpe.com/support).
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.
Installing device drivers and Management Agents
You can use the Integrity Support Pack to automatically install the device drivers, Event Notification
Service, and Management Agents, or you can install these items manually.
The Integrity Support Pack is located on the Smart Setup media. To install the Integrity Support
Pack, launch Express Setup from EBSU and follow the on-screen instructions.
Installing device drivers
The drivers for the controller are located on the Smart Setup media. Updates are posted to the
support page of the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (http://www.hpe.com/support/
itaniumservers). Installation instructions are provided with the drivers.
Installing the Event Notification Service
The Smart Array SAS/SATA Event Notification Service provides event notification to the Microsoft®
Windows® Server 2003 64-bit system event log and the HPE Integrated Management log. The
most recent version of the software component is available on the support page of the Hewlett
Packard Enterprise website (http://www.hpe.com/support/itaniumservers). Installation
instructions are provided with the component.
Installing Management Agents
The Management Agents are available on the Smart Setup media. The most recent versions of
the agents are available on the support page of the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (http://
www.hpe.com/support/itaniumservers). Installation instructions are provided with the agents.
If the new agents do not function correctly, you might also need to update Systems Insight
Manager. The latest version of Systems Insight Manager is available for download at the Hewlett
Packard Enterprise website (http://www.hpe.com/info/SIM).

Linux Installation

Procedure 26 Linux Quick Installation Procedure
To install the controller:
1. Power down the server.
2. Unplug the AC power cord from the power outlet.
3. Unplug the power cord from the server.
4. Install the controller hardware ("Installing the controller hardware" on page 9).
5. If necessary, install additional physical drives. The number of drives in the server determines
the RAID level that is autoconfigured when the server is powered up (next step).
6. Power up the server.
7. Update the controller firmware.
When the firmware update process is complete, the server reboots and runs through a POST
procedure. This POST procedure halts briefly during controller initialization and prompts you
to open ORCA.
