software for new ML570 G3

[donkarnash_1]

Hello I have just got 5 ML570 G3 servers and have used smart start to configure them and install windows 2003 server enterprise edition. I have also downloaded firmware ISO & PSP 7.4b and installed both.
I wanted to know if I can download any other software for administration like diagnostic pack etc. Also can someone advise me if the insight diagnostics is free or do I have to pay for it. Please let me know of any other administration and server maintenance software. Thanks in advance.

HP Insight Diagnostics Online is free.

You can also use HP Systems Insight manager (free)

and HP Systems Insight manager Plug-In applications
http://h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/hpsim/plugin-apps.html
(some plug-in free, for some plug-ins you need to buy license)

Also, note that Firmware Maintenance CD released in December 2005, and some server firmware released after

If you use SmartArray controller update SmartArray firmware as well:

(Firmware Maintenance CD 7.40 contains previous version)
