Determining what devices are install on server |
---|
Device Driver updates and deployment images customized to contain the correct set of out-of-drivers can result in reduced server maintenance down time and faster deployments. Properly identifying the server devices installed is an important step to optimizing the process. The device bundle web pages provide PCIe Sub Vendor and Sub Device ID information. The information collected here can be compared to that information to determine the code supported.
