DL380 Gen9 / Server 2019 / Not finding the correct Smart Array P440ar Controller Driver

I am installing Windows Server 2019 Standard on a DL380 Gen9. 
When I get to the Storage Controller driver screen in the Server install, none of the drivers from the HPE site seems to work.

Where can I download the correct driver for the Smart Array P440ar Controller

I am also looking for the SPP pack to run after the installation to deploy all the drivers for this server.

Hi,
    You can try this link to download the Smart Array P440ar controller driver. If not working, you can try by SPP.

Hello,

 

Windows server 2019 should be able to install using the inbox driver. If the controller is present, but it's not detected by Windows this would be related to out of date BIOS and / or P440ar firmware currently installed. 

 

I would start by flashing to the minimum version of the BIOS supporting 2019:
