Sorry to dig up an old tread but I'm struggling to find chipset drivers for my now back up and running N36L.
The link on the HP website isnt much help and no longer seems to list drivers for WHS2011 (or win7 x64)
Anyone got any pointers?

You don't need any. It'll install everything you need from Windows update, unless you have any added hardware. My install was done on a 36L and I later swapped the disks to my 54L with no issues.
Remember that if you want to add it to a Windows workgroup you'll need to do that during the installation process, it's a ball ache to try to do it once it's installed.
Edit: From my notes of doing it....
Quote:Must be done during setup...
When the setup gets to the part where you are asked to name it, simply hit SHIFT-F10
You'll get a command prompt.
Type "control system" and press enter
Use the system control panel that pops up to change the workgroup name but leave the server name and everything else alone.
Close the window, don't reboot the system. Continue with the setup, and once it's all going you'll have that workgroup name and the certificates in certificate services will be named properly too so you don't have to re-build that junk after the fact, which is possible as well but a real PITA.

Or just install it, as I said.
My WHS installation has been running fine for a few years with five hard disks (3 x 4TB, 1x 3TB and 1x 2TB), running sabnzdb, sickbeard, torrents, video remuxing, audio converting and as my main video server.

I have a N40L Microserver that is running WHS 2011 and use only drivers for Windows Server 2008 x64 if I cannot find WHS2011 specific drivers.
And my Microservers been running like a champ for over 2yrs, and I hope to get many more out of it.
Hoping also that Windows 10 plays nice as a client with it.
And agree with Jakks homeservershow for good support.

Has anyone here got the N40L with WHS2011 working with WOL so it will sleep/hibernate when not in use?
I currently use the N40L with Kodi but i'm going to try a RaspberryPi thus leaving the N40L as just a NAS

Hibernate works,
Sleep isn't supported with the device.
