In the www.hp.com
You need P/N no. or Spare no. to search.
Or
If your storage is EVA, MSA....
you can download support software from the hp web site.
The software includes driver of HBA.
It isn't newest but it is stable.

Hi,

here's the main support page for the HBA (Compaq KGPSA-CB, which is an Emulex LP8000)

http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Home.jsp?locale=en_US&prodTypeId=12169&prodSeriesId=327008〈=en&cc=us&y=5&x=9

But the link for drivers seems broken.
If you only need drivers, search for drivers for FCA2101. They use the same drivers. Firmware and BIOS are different, though.

Regards,
Stephen

It also depends on the OS that is using the card. I have VMS, AIX, and Windows versions of the card. They look identical to casual observation. They have different firmwares based on the OS that is using them. That also determines the end of the part number.

Another 2 bonus question's:
1) I have a LP1050, drivers for that?
2) QLA2312 = what FCA (hp card)?

The LP1050 is the A7388A and also the AB467A
While 32bit servers should be supported natively go here for 64bit support
