If you do not use the SmartStart CD 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
from the HP website (http://www.hp.com/support).
To directly locate the OS drivers for a particular server blade, enter the following web address into the
browser:
http://www.hp.com/support/<servername>
In place of <servername>, enter the server name.
For example:
http://www.hp.com/support/dl360g6 (http://www.hp.com/support/dl360g6)
