The ISOSs are downloadable... Google "firmware maintenance cd" and check the "version

your
server model (not always listed). If not, go back a few versions until you find it. CD 8.60 by example seems to have it and is not too old... Download and burn. Or, you could try the new way (I never tried it yet): http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/spp/index.html
Found what seemed to be it - http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c00308226, but the one for the DL580 GL5 was from '09. I clicked the link at the top of the list, found mine, clicked that, and was offered a choice of OS's, including CentOS, but that had some accelerator. At the bottom of the offered OS's, they say "cross-os - BIOS, etc". I follow that... and *all* I get is a WinDoze .exe. Could I use one of the burnable DVDs to boot from then run this, having copied onto the h/d on the server?

While I still think it is easier to just download and boot on the DVD (which works for many models too), you can try: http://h20565.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/public/psi/swdHome/?lang=en&c... and choose Red Hat instead of CentOS. Then choose the "Obtain software" entries instead of the Download ones...
