Downloading driver packs ?

[Mikael Rönnbäck]

I hope this is the right forum, but I was wondering if anyone know where to find the driver downloads now that HP has moved them ?

Previously I used this link http://h18023.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/index.html , it supported a nice little dropdown menu where you selected server model and operating system and with one click got to the files to download.

Now the page seems to be moved and I really can't find my way around the new page, there's gazillions of links to choose from and I need to type in the exact server model instead of choosing from a dropdown box, and after some 10-15 pages of searching I get to 1 version of the drivers I require, so I would then have to repeat this for the remaining operating systems I run.

Surely there must be a faster way to finding the drivers ? (And it's not SIM, since the driver in question has not been downloaded by SIM yet, still I'm told it has been released which was why I started looking for the page in the first place ;-) )

Hello Mikael,
Happy New Year !
Our Webpages have been redesigned/changed.
The best way now is to mention the Server model at this location & select OS on succeeding page.

Thanks, I guess there's not much else to do then :)

I still liked the old menu better since you could just select OS instead of model, because when like use you have some 10-15 different models in use all I really want is to get the support packs for W2K, W2K3 and W2K3x64 with all firmware for all models, cards, etc.

Luckily SIM will usually download most of the items so I can just grab the filenames from the VCRM log :)

Btw, the actual downloads page looks a bit strange, half of the "download" buttons are missing.

Oh, and why the multipart downloads

HP PSP 7.91
part 1: 0.096 MB
part 3: 0.0 MB
and only part 2 really containing files ?

Ah ! We are as confused as you are Mikael. This change was after quite some time; But I guess as all new changes, even this will be 'ok' after using it for sometime.
About the breaking of the downloads into Parts ... honestly, i have no idea.

;-) Regards.
