PrerequisitesPrerequisites
Before beginning this procedure, download the Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP) from the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website
(https://www.hpe.com/servers/spp/downloadhttps://www.hpe.com/servers/spp/download).
ProcedureProcedure
1. If the server was previously configured:
a. Back up data on the system .
b. Close all applications.
c. Ensure that users are logged off and that all tasks are completed on the server.
CAUTION:CAUTION: In systems that use external data storage, be sure that the server is the first unit to be powered down and
the last to be powered back up. Taking this precaution ensures that the system does not erroneously mark the drives as
failed when the server is powered up.
2. If the server firmware is not the latest revision, update the firmware.
3. If the new controller is the new boot device, install the controller drivers .
