• From within Survey Utility (on page 86 )
• From within operating system-specific IML viewers
• For NetWare: IML Viewer
• For Windows®: IML Viewer
• For Linux: IML Viewer Application
• From within the iLO user interface
• From within HP Insight Diagnostics (on page 86 )
For more information, refer to the Management CD in the HP ProLiant Essentials Foundation Pack.

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
78 )
and its Assisted Path feature to install the operating system and latest driver support.
NOTE: If you are installing drivers from the SmartStart CD or the Software Maintenance CD, 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: Always perform a backup before installing or updating device drivers.

running certain Microsoft® or Novell operating systems. The Resource Paqs include utilities to monitor
performance, software drivers, customer support information, and white papers on the latest server
integration information. Refer to the Enterprise Partnerships website
( http://h18000.www1.hp.com/partners ), select Microsoft or Novell, depending on the operating
system, and follow the link to the appropriate Resource Paq.
ProLiant Support Packs
