If needed, upgrade to the latest firmware version before use.
HP Smart Array Server Software is supported for use with the P700m and its servers, but it is
important to note that the MSA2000 family does not use the Smart Array storage device
management software tools of ACU, ADU, and Storage Event Notification Service. The
