Installing the Device Drivers

The drivers for the controller are located on the Smart Array Controller Support
Software CD and on the SmartStart CD. Updates are posted to

www.hp.com.

Using the Smart Array Controller Support
Software CD

Instructions for installing the drivers from the Smart Array Controller Support
Software CD are given in the leaflet provided with the CD. Note that the exact
procedure depends on whether the server is new, or already contains the operating
system and user data.

Using the SmartStart CD

If you are setting up a new server, the drivers are installed and configured at the same
time that you install the operating system. Refer to the documentation provided with
the CD for the operating system installation instructions.

If you are adding the controller to an existing system, you must create Support Pack
diskettes for the operating system that you use. These diskettes contain the operating
system software, drivers, and support documentation.
