There is no specific "procedures" as such.
However, i would recommend a complete backup
Also, there are ONLINE VERSIONs of the Firmwares to be updated; which means they can be updated without have to reboot the server, & the changes are immediately taken effect.

Dear Friends,
I have observed that,when I disable Qlogic Fibre channel adapter FC HBA -FC1142SR,Then system shutdown in 2-3 minutes(Noramally).
I have updated latest HBA firmware 4.06 as well as driver of HBA card,but while in enable HBA card the problem is still same(i.e its taking 10-15 minutes to shutdown).
from above exercise ,i found that this an issue between Qlogic Fibre channel adapter FC HBA -FC1142SR of DL580 G4 Server & Windows 2003 x64 R2 extended OS.
Kindly request you to send some solution for same.

We ran into an issue where an admin applied the latest Firmware updates to a DL580 G4, running W2K3 x64 Entprise SP1, then applied ProLiant Support Pack v8.00 causing the server to Blue Screen. When the server was brought back issues with the Storageworks Fibre Channel Adapter kit needed to be resolved. Once those issues were resolved, we found that the NICs (NC371i) in the server were not working. It turns out that HP does not have compatible NIC drivers for the latest firmware and W2K3 x64 Ent.
