Keeping the system current

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 54)
and its Assisted Path feature to install the operating system and latest driver support.
NOTE:
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:

ProLiant Support Packs

agents. Refer to the PSP website

Operating system version support

Refer to the operating system support matrix (http://www.hp.com/go/supportos).
