Server setup utility for Proliant 8500

[David Lotz]

Can any one please point me to a link to a document that covers in detail the use of the server setup utility on a Proliant 8500.

Hi,

All other documents/manuals about the 8500 are here:

In particular, I would recommend the Setup and Installation Guide, and the Maintenance and Service Guide.

You may need the SmartStart CD. Newer versions do not work with the 8500, you will need version 5.50:

All software/drivers for the 8500 are here:
