booting the system.
b. Boot the system to the EFI Shell prompt.
c. Locate the cdrom entry in the list of mapped devices, and change to the device by
entering its associated fs number (for example, fs0) at the EFI Shell prompt.
d. If the EFI utility is not located in the root directory, move to the directory where the
file is located, for example:
fs0:\> cd \EFI\HP\TOOLS\IO_CARDS\SmartArray
• To run saupdate from the EFI partition:
a. Download the SA EFI update utility saupdate.efi and copy it to the EFI partition.
b. Boot the system to the EFI Shell and change directories to the EFI partition.
