Robert:

The latest SmartStart (7.40) should work with the DL380 G1. The latest
firmware update cd (7.40) should work on it as well. I must admit I haven't
tried since SmartStart 7.10 a little while ago. I know for sure the latest
firmware update cd will _NOT_ work on the 1850R. The NIC is not supported
and causes it to hang on startup. Good luck.
