Driver
Go to hp.com Support & Drivers, search for HP P410, find the Windows Server 2008 x63 drivers, download and install "** CRITICAL ** HP ProLiant Smart Array SAS/SATA Controller Driver for Windows Server 2008 x64 Edition", which requires a reboot.
The HP Array Configuration Utility Software shows that we have "HP EF0600FARNA" drives. So, install "RECOMMENDED * Online ROM Flash Component for Windows - EF0300FARMU, EF0450FARMV, EF0600FARNA drives",
which requires a reboot. I'm not sure if this
needs to be installed each time or not.
Client Program
Install a client program called the "HP Array Configuration Utility Software" (it is at the bottom of the web page).
The client program shows that we have a 1Tb RAID5 with a live spare.
Joule RAID Problem
Joule was failing to boot:
It hung in exactly the same spot as before, the first operation in the booting process after you see the 'HP ProLiant' splash screen.

Joule is back up. Note that a 'reset' wasn't the cure. It hung in the same place in the boot process (Press F12 for a PXE boot), so
I power-cycled it and that did the trick.
This is after the HP Smart Array P410 initialization and the BMC Firmware screen. There is a delay and then we get BMC message
The screen is
Press F10 for ROM-based Setup Utility
Press F12 for PXE Boot
Then, nothing happens. The keyboard is not responsive. Resetting via the front panel brings us back to the same place.
Marten installed HP ProLiant Smart Array SAS/SATA Controller Driver for Windows Server 2008 x64 Edition 6.26.0.64 (released on 19 Feb 2013) and rebooted machine several times; seems to have solved the problem.
