This component provides updated system firmware that can be installed directly on supported operating
systems. Additionally, when used in conjunction with the HP SUM
101), this Smart Component allows the user to update firmware on remote servers from a central location.
This remote deployment capability eliminates the need for the user to be physically present at the server
to perform a firmware update.

Drivers

IMPORTANT: Always perform a backup before installing or updating device drivers.
The server includes new hardware that may not have driver support on all OS installation media.
If you are installing an Intelligent Provisioning-supported OS, use Intelligent Provisioning (on page 99)
and its Configure and Install feature to install the OS and latest supported drivers.
If you do not use Intelligent Provisioning to install an OS, 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 as part of an SPP.
If you are installing drivers from SPP, be sure that you are using the latest SPP version that your server
supports. To verify that your server is using the latest supported version and for more information about
SPP, see the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (http://www.hpe.com/servers/spp/download).
To locate the drivers for a particular server, go to the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Support Center website
(http://www.hpe.com/support/hpesc). Under Select your HPE product, enter the product name or
number and click Go.

Software and firmware

Software and firmware should be updated before using the server for the first time, unless any installed
software or components require an older version.
For system software and firmware updates, use one of the following sources:
•
Download the SPP
website (http://www.hpe.com/servers/spp/download).
•
Download individual drivers, firmware, or other systems software components from the server
product page in the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Support Center website
(http://www.hpe.com/support/hpesc).
