hi ramiathp

1.
yes PSP it's the best way and recommended by hp to have your server up to date with the latest drivers

what is PSP?
ProLiant Support Packs (PSP) represent operating system (OS) specific bundles of ProLiant optimized drivers, utilities, and management agents. These bundles of software are tested together to ensure proper installation and functionality.

2.
for BIOS and firmware the recommendation is Firmware Maintenance CD 7.9
http://h18023.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/revision/9014.html

remember
Driver: software that allows your computer to communicate with hardware or devices

Firmware: a computer program that is embedded in a hardware device, for example a microcontroller. It can also be provided on flash ROMs or as a binary image file that can be uploaded onto existing hardware by a user.
