Title: Need a SmartStart ISO
Post by: Bloody Jack Kidd on December 30, 2010, 10:06:18 AM
Got an older HP Proliant ML530 I need to reanimate - don't seem to have a SmartStart CD to get the ball rolling... anyone have one?

Sorry if I display my ignorance, but, must it be specific to that model?

It's a good question - I'm not certain how specific or generic the SmartStart CDs are - I suspect there may be some backward compatibility, but not much forward.

You can download it from this site:
ftp://ftp.compaq.com/pub/products/Servers/supportsoftware/ZIP/ (http://ftp://ftp.compaq.com/pub/products/Servers/supportsoftware/ZIP/)

Scroll down to the version you want.  I have one going right now, but I don't need it.  Just wanted to make sure the download was working.

thanks for the link - grabbed an older 7.2 ISO.

(had to go in as admin and wrap the link in URL tags, otherwise it prefixed the link with http://)
