If the existing driver versions on a server are inconsistent with the driver version mapping or
some chip drivers are not installed, install the drivers of the required versions. Otherwise, the
server may operate abnormally. Obtain the required driver installation package from the
Huawei Server Compatibility Checker
. For example, the V304 driver package for Windows
is
FusionServer iDriver-Windows-Driver-V304.zip
.
The driver upgrade procedure varies according to the OS type and version. For details, see the
