I'm trying to install RHEL 6.2 on HP DL380 G9, but the I cannot find the storage during the installation. I thought maybe RHEL 6.2 does not support HP P440AR contoller by default, then I go to HP support site to download the driver of P440ar for RHEL 6u2 (hpsa-3.4.6-171.rhel6u2.x86_64.dd.gz ). I have unziped this file and dd to my USB stick then I found it's contain a RPM file, I have no idea about how to install a RPM package at the begining of the RHEL 6.2 installation.

As a lesson to people who try to install old versions of Linux on new hardware, this won't work...
RHEL 6.2 was released in December 2011
The HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 server was released a few weeks ago in late 2014...
HP's compatibility matrix states the certified operating systems and minimum versions needed to operate on a given hardware platform.
For the server you have, RHEL 6.5 will work if you add the driver disk available from Red Hat here. Or really, just install RHEL 6.6, as it contains everything you need to run on this hardware.
If there's some unfortunate reason you need to use RHEL 6.2 (policy, certification, bad boss), virtualize it or use period-correct hardware (DL380p Gen8 or DL380 G7).
