What I need to load O.S and all driver in a COMPAQ PROLIANT 5500.

[Alberto Corrales]

Hi,

I need to load the Windows Operating System (W2000 or W2003) in a compaq proliant 550 server and I want to know which are the compaq CDs that I need to use to execute a correct and complete installation.

For example, i have worked with Dell severs and it has a "Dell Driver" CD and "Server Assistance" CD that is used to load in easy way the operating system and drivers.

I´ll appreciate your help,
mcc

Hi Alberto,
I would recomend that you start with the smart start CD,

Then the Firmware CD,

The the ProLiant Support Pack,

Note, the ones I have included are for Windows 2000. For 2003 the support pack would be different. You can find everything you need at: http://welcome.hp.com/country/us/en/support.html?pageDisplay=drivers
