Updates are posted to the HP website (http://www.hp.com/support). NOTE: The 2-channel expansion module is a controller in its own right. Thus, the Smart Array 6404 Controller is actually two 2-channel controllers sharing one PCI-X connector. During POST, each component controller loads its own instance of the required driver and sets its own configuration using ORCA. Using the Support Software CD: Instructions for installing the drivers from the Support Software CD are given in the leaflet that is supplied 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 use the Assisted Installation path feature of SmartStart to install the operating system on a new server, the drivers are automatically installed at the same time. You can also use SmartStart to update the drivers manually on older systems. For more information, refer to the SmartStart documentation.

Installing device drivers
The drivers for the controller are located on the Support Software CD or the
SmartStart CD that is provided in the controller kit. Updates are posted to the HP
website (
).
NOTE:
The 2-channel expansion module is a controller in its own right.
Thus, the Smart Array 6404 Controller is actually two 2-channel
controllers sharing one PCI-X connector. During POST, each
component controller loads its own instance of the required driver and
sets its own configuration using ORCA.
Using the Support Software CD:
Instructions for installing the drivers from the
Support Software CD are given in the leaflet that is supplied 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 use the Assisted Installation path feature of
SmartStart to install the operating system on a new server, the drivers are
automatically installed at the same time.
You can also use SmartStart to update the drivers manually on older systems. For
more information, refer to the SmartStart documentation.
