HP Smart Array firmware downgrade

Qeeet — Sat, 12 Sep 2015 16:08:43 GMT

Good day,

I recently installed HP Smart Array 642 into Dell server running Win2003. I just updated firmware when I noticed HP raid controller doesn't offer (F8) to configure it when booting.

Could you please tell me how to find some old firmwares for this controller? Maybe there is some hp ftp server...

I have found mirror of very old compaq ftp http://www.mmnt.net/db/0/29/ftp.compaq.com/pub/softpaq/sp30001-30500/

But I have no idea what to download. Where are files with names such as cp00xxxx

Why not using hp.com drivers pages?

latest was 2.84 (A)(15 Jul 2008), older firmware here:

but I don't think a downgrade will solve the problem ...
