With the Flashing of the BIOS for my second MicroServer I wanted to document my experience and put together a step-by-step guide that was all in one place, starting with the original HP BIOS.Īt HP’s webpage, Systems ROMPaq Firmware Upgrade for HP ProLiant MicroServer (For USB Key-Media), download the file SP54344.exe to your laptop or desktop (I used my Windows 7 Professional Desktop Machine) and follow HP’s instructions to create a USB that can flash your BIOS. When issues surfaced on cvscorp’s availability last year DieHard made copies of the necessary files available from his SkyDrive account (Get Flash.Zip & SP54344.exe).

Since that time the Forum thread started by DieHard has grown, as of this writing, to over 15 pages and 290 messages and continues to grow.

At that time I downloaded HP’s SoftPaq from cvscorp, prepared a bootable flash drive and copied the file over from BIOS-MODS. DieHard is a rock star! I followed his notes and suggestions and had no problem flashing BIOS-MODS modified BIOS that would unlock many of the hidden features on the MicroServer – especially enabling me to set SATA port 5 (the mother board port for the ODD (“Optical Disk Drive”) if installed) and port 4 (the eSATA port on the back of the case) to AHCI and at a higher port speed than it’s default. In the original HP MicroServer N40L Build and BIOS Modification I wrote how I flashed the modified BIOS from BIOS-MODS to my first MicroServer using John Zajdler’s, on twitter, Diehard in the forums, guide and suggestions. Proceed with the steps in the following reference links and Figures at your own risk.

I've read the stickied integration guide for integrating drivers for an XP/2003 disc using nLite above, but how much of this can I lift verbatim to try with a OS that's based on Server 2008 R2? I've already made a very basic attempt at slipstreaming using nLite's successor NTLite and the RAID drivers available on the website for my board's manufacturer, but ended up going nowhere with it.Early last year I purchased my first HP ProLiant N40L MicroServer (“MicroServer”) and wrote about some of the things I did to build-out my MicroServer after flashing the modified BIOS from BIOS-MODS. The installer runs to completion just fine if I put the BIOS back to AHCI mode, but I don't want to run the array that way because of the performance hit it will entail. I can get the installer to start (running it from an external optical drive and connecting a thumb drive to load the drivers so that the installer will recognize them), but the installation requires several reboots and immediately after the first one, I get a Windows Boot Manager error (iaStorA.sys, 0xc0000359) that I just can't get around. I'm hitting a tremendous roadblock when it comes to dealing with the Intel C226 drivers necessary to run the drives in RAID mode. I'm in the midst of a server build based on an ASRock Rack E3C226D2I board that I want to set up with a Samsung EVO 850 SSD for a Windows Home Server 2011 host OS and three 3TB Western Digital Red drives in RAID5 for data storage.
