controllers, always install the most recent firmware for the 4-Port Shared Storage
Module, the controller, and the HBAs:

• For HBA firmware upgrade procedures, refer to the controller documentation

that ships with the hardware.

• For controller and Shared Storage Module firmware upgrade procedures,

refer to the HP website (
