Upgrading device drivers

If you install a peripheral device (such as a printer, display adapter, or network adapter), confirm you
have the latest device drivers loaded. If you purchased your device through HP, visit the HP website to
download the latest drivers for your device. These drivers have been tested to ensure the best
compatibility between your device and your HP workstation.
If you did not purchase your device from HP, HP recommends visiting the HP website first to see if your
device and its drivers have been tested for HP workstation compatibility. If no driver is available, visit
the device manufacturer's website to download the latest drivers.
To upgrade device drivers:
1. See http://www.hp.com/go/workstationsupport.
2. Under Tasks in the left column, select Download Drivers and Software.
3. Follow the instructions to find the latest drivers available for the workstation.
If a needed driver is not found, see the website of the manufacturer of the peripheral device.
