Youcan scan for driver updates automatically and install them manually with the free version of the GE USB Driver Update Utility, or complete all necessary driver updates automatically using the premium version.

Click the Update button next to your driver. The correct version will be downloaded and installed automatically. Or, you can click the Update All button at the bottom to automatically download and install the correct version of all the drivers that are missing or out-of-date on your system.


To find the latest driver, including Windows 11 drivers, choose from our list of most popular GE USB downloads or search our driver archive for the driver that fits your specific GE usb model and your PC's operating system.


After downloading your driver update, you will need to install it. Driver updates come in a variety of file formats with different file extensions. For example, you may have downloaded an EXE, INF, ZIP, or SYS file. Each file type has a slightly different installation procedure to follow. Visit our Driver Support Page to watch helpful step-by-step videos on how to install drivers based on their file extension.


I've got a new server DL180 Gen9, and I'm trying to update the BIOS in the P440 Smart Array controller. The current BIOS version is 5.04, and the current available for download is 5.52. The reason I want to update the BIOS, is a nagging Windows event (about 20000 entries per day), that there is a failed IOCTL, which not uncommonly implies that there's a hardware problem. At least, I would like to eliminate a buggy BIOS as the cause. And I will not put the server in production, until the most serious errors are gone from the event log.


The problem is, the update always fails when I run the update package (cp032905.exe). I've tried several times, always with a reference to the engineering log. I've also tried Smart Provisioning at boot time, but Smart Provisioning cannot contact any HPE servers (seems to be the normal state of affairs), so no luck there.


Just trying to keep some terminology straight here. Gen8 systems were the last ProLiant that the System ROM was BIOS-based, Gen9 and later systems have a UEFI-based System ROM. All of the peripheral components such as network adapters and smart array controllers have firmware.


Have you updated to the latest release of Intelligent Provisioning? I don't recall what version contained the new HPE.com URLS, but some of the older versions pointed to HP.com as they were released before the company seperation.


I presume your HPE ProLiant DL180 Gen9 with HPE Smart Array P440 is running a supported version of Windows Server operating system (you wrote "Windows events"...and you cited the cp032905.exe)...so note - if not yet done before - that you should worry about the below specific note before attempting to update the P440 Firmware from version 5.04 to version 5.52 (B), which is the current latest available Firmware version you will install using that cp032905.exe file:


Modified component installer to detect if the Windows HPCISSS3.sys driver version 100.18.2.64 is installed. With HPCISSS3.sys driver version 100.18.2.64 a Windows blue screen could occur during installation of the controller firmware. HPCISSS3.sys driver must be updated to version 100.20.0.64 or later and the Windows operating system must be restarted before attempting to install this component."


I uninstalled most of the HP software, and the error stopped occuring in the event log. That does not mean however, that the controller or interface is OK. It may have serious issues, or may not. Just that the components catching errors are not installed. Or there's a bug in the HPE software logging false errors.


The installation procedure did not complete successfully. An error occurred during the setup process.



You may look at the setup log file for more details if desired.



Additional Information:

Flash failed

A fatal error occurred. See engineering log for details.



Press the 'Close' button to exit Setup.


So...in the Error Log message the solution was already proposed (see recommandation about updating HPCISSS3.sys driver's version)...and, it the P440 Firmware update application found that...it means that the SATA/SAS Smart Array driver, as per 5.52(B) Firmware release note, wasn't yet updated as requested (so not "latest stuff", at least for this particular software driver component).


One thing I always do is carefully read Release Notes especially when Server needs to have updated SystemROM and/or Smart Array Controller Firmwares...if there is a specific recommandation (as example: update the Software Driver first, perform the operation Offline or do a proper controlled OS reboot...) is better to know it first instead to hit an issue.


For all of our PXI & PCI switch solutions. This driver package contains the base drivers for both VISA and non-VISA based systems. The selection of the appropriate driver is made during the installation process. In the case of the VISA driver, the user should install the National Instruments VISA package onto their system prior to installing our driver. For non-VISA systems, no prior installation is necessary.


Download the zip file, extract the files to any desired location and then run setup.exe. Drivers, documentation and examples are included in the installation package, also included are LabView and LabWindows/CVI driver files.


Cards introduced after the release date of the driver will not be included in the installation. In these cases and for existing users wishing to update their installation, download the latest copy of the pi40iv.ini which contains all the current card definitions. In rare cases older systems will also require a full driver update.


For all of our PXI & PCI and LXI products (except for some instrument cards with the model prefix of 41). Any card usable from the base non-VISA driver or in a Pickering LXI product are suitable for use with this driver.




The electronics are housed in an attractive glossy white enclosure with blue, side-lit LED TX and RX traffic indicators. A matching white 10 cm USB cable uses gold plated USB and DE9 connectors for oxidation-free connections.


The USB1PFTDI uses an enhanced RS232 level converter and is capable of communication rates up to 1M Baud. It is RoHS compliant and is CE and FCC approved. It is the only USB to serial adapter that we know of with an operation range down to -20 C.


Very Important: The driver must be installed before the adapter is plugged into your computer!

The FTDI VCP driver is found at this site:

Select the Windows driver under "Comments" all the way to the right of the table. The driver is the "setup executable" link. See this PDF for driver location.

Prior to 1994 profiles were collected using a modified analog-to-digital (A/D) conversion boardas described by Roemmich and Cornuelle (1987). From 1994 through 2004 a Sippican MK12 data acquisitionsystem was employed, with the modification of the user interface driver programs. Theseprograms were developed at SIO to provide a more user-friendly environment for the ship board datacollectors, and to eventually enable collection by non-scientific personnel such as the ship'screw. Profiles are currently collected using AMVER SEAS 2K Windows based software and theSippican MK21 data acquisition system. AMVER SEAS 2K was developed by NOAA's Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML). It incorporatesmany of SIO's older data acquisition functions. See the poster page for adescription of AMVER SEAS 2K.



Thermistor resistance is converted to temperature using a logarithmic fit (Steinhart and Hart, 1968).Depth is calculated using the original fall-rate equation provided by Sippican:



Original Sippican Deep Blue XBT fall rate equation:



z (meters) = 6.472 t - 0.00216 t**2 (t in seconds)



The raw temperature/depth data are vertically averaged to 2 m bins and archived as ASCII fileswith date and time information. Position is provided by a GPS navigational system which isgenerally directly linked to the data acquisition system. Most quality control, such asremoving wire breaks and temperature spikes, is done aboard the ship. Final quality control iscompleted at SIO, where the data are translated to the 1995 Hanawa et al corrected fall rate equation andfurther vertically averaged to 10 m bins to form a more compressed version of the data.



Hanawa et al (1995) Deep Blue XBT fall rate equation:



z (meters) = 6.691 t - 0.00225 t**2 (t in seconds)



Note the .10 files available for download from this site reflect the Hanawa et al 1995 fall rate equation.



Cruise tracks and along track temperature/depth cross-sections are displayed for each cruise.The location of each individual XBT cast is indicated by the tick marks along the top axisof the temperature sections. These cross-sections have been constructed using an objectivemapping routine to regularly grid the data in depth and latitude (or longitude). The routineemploys a high signal-to-noise ratio so as to retain the true spatial structure.

The data are also available from the National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC).
