Hi, I bought one of the N40L servers about 2 months ago and only finished setting it up today with the HDD.
I can't seem to find a CD with the drivers and not sure if one was supplied?
When I search the HP Aus/US/UK sites, it says there are no drivers for N40L or product ID 658553-371.
Any ideas?
Am installing Vista at the moment, and then will upgrade to Windows 7 (only have an upgrade DVD).
Thanks for any suggestions.
You'll get updated drivers by going to AMD, mouse over Support & Drivers on the top right and choose:
Embedded Graphics
Radeon Embedded
AMD785E | SB8X0 Chipset
Windows 7 (32 or 64)
312MB download
I set mine up with Ubuntu Server (12.04 LTS) - everything worked "out of the box". I reckon if Linux recognises the hardware surely Windoze would?
Anyway, looking at the supplied CD it only seems to contain minimal documentation for a heap of languages.
Not really fair for two reasons:
1: Linux is constantly updated rather than the infrequent Windows releases. Mostly the difference is because you have to pay for a new release.
2: Linux is (mostly) driven by GPLed hardware support which they are free to repackage. Windows is not and may not have the rights to include all the third party drivers.
Hi Bruce,
I probably spend too much time on 'nix boxes. :)
Wouldn't be surprised if you didn't receive one. When I bought the N36L way back when they were dirt cheap, they were sold without any operating system, so no disc was supplied.
They'll usually only give you a disc if it comes with software.
