For support for HPE SSA or Smart Array controllers, please visit Contact HP. Users will automatically be logged out after a predetermined period of inactivity when using HPE SSA and will have to re-login. On the Web-based Management Device Homepage, under 'options', 'Anonymous Access' should be enabled when using HPE SSA. When clicking on a controller that is currently being configured in a different HPE SSA session, a message will appear which allows you to override the other HPE SSA session or cancel. If you choose to override the other HPE SSA session, any unsaved changes in the other session will be discarded. To uninstall HPE SSA, use Add/Remove Programs located in the Control Panel on Windows Systems. To run HPE SSA in local application mode on Windows, Internet Explorer must be the default browser.
