Installing device drivers
The drivers for the controller are located on the Smart Setup media. Updates are posted to the support
page of the HP website (
http://www.hp.com/support/itaniumservers ).
Installation instructions are provided with the drivers.
Installing Management Agents
The Management Agents are available on the Smart Setup media. The most recent versions of the agents
are available on the support page of the HP website (
http://www.hp.com/support/itaniumservers ).
Installation instructions are provided with the agents.
If the new agents do not function correctly, you might also need to update Systems Insight Manager. The
latest version of Systems Insight Manager is available for download at the HP website
(

Systems using Linux®
The drivers for the controller are bundled into the supported Red Hat and Novell Linux distributions.
In a system that does not yet have Linux installed:
1. Follow the standard controller installation procedure.
2. Reboot the server.
3. Follow the standard procedure for installing Linux. As Linux is installed, it recognizes the controller
and automatically loads the correct driver.
In a system that already has Linux installed:
1. Power down the system.
2. Follow the standard controller installation procedure.
