9. Reboot the server. A reboot is required after the firmware update for the updates to take effect and for
hardware stability to be maintained.
Online Flash components
This component provides updated system firmware that can be installed directly on supported Operating
Systems. Additionally, when used in conjunction with HP SUM ("HP Smart Update Manager" on page 100),
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 98) and its
Configure and Install feature to install the OS and latest supported drivers.
