Updating the Controller BIOS and Driver
For optimal performance and reliability, update the controller BIOS and driver to the latest version. The
BIOS and driver for your controller may have been updated since you bought the controller. The latest and
most recent BIOS and driver version for the controller is posted on the HP support website at:

1. Check the controller BIOS version, by rebooting your system. During the option ROM scan of the
SATA RAID controller, write down the BIOS version.
2. Go to the HP support website and compare the version number.
3. If your controller has the same BIOS version as the one posted on the Web or no BIOS has been
posted on the HP website, your controller has the latest BIOS and no update is necessary and you can
skip to step 5.

the downloaded package.
5. Check the driver version of the controller using the following steps:
a. Right-click My Computer.
