Failure to update the HAL correctly can prevent the system from initializing. The SMART Controller driver from the Windows NT SSD version 1.16 installed in the ProLiant 4500 Server is not compatible with the SMART-2/P Controller planned for the upgraded system. CAUTION: You must use the correct driver for the SMART-2/P Controller for the system to initialize. Apply the Windows NT SSD, version 1.18 or later prior to moving the controller and drive subsystem to the new platform. Detailed instructions for this process are included in the "Step-byStep Instructions" section of this document. 10

The following items in this migration scenario require attention during the migration process.
HAL requires upgrade
Memory and processor options are not compatible
SMART-2/P Drive Array Controller driver upgrade required
NetFlex-3/P Controller - instance re-creation required
System Configuration, Diagnostics, and Windows NT SSD require updates
Carefully follow the HAL upgrade procedures in the “Step-by-Step Instructions” section of this
document.
Failure to update the HAL correctly can prevent the system from initializing.
The SMART Controller driver from the Windows NT SSD version 1.16 installed in the ProLiant
4500 Server is not compatible with the SMART-2/P Controller planned for the upgraded system.
CAUTION:
You must use the correct driver for the SMART-2/P Controller for the
system to initialize.
Apply the Windows NT SSD, version 1.18 or later prior to moving the controller and drive
subsystem to the new platform. Detailed instructions for this process are included in the “Step-by-
Step Instructions” section of this document.
