IMPORTANT:
HPE ProLiant XL servers do not support operating system installation with Intelligent Provisioning, but
they do support the maintenance features. For more information, see "Performing Maintenance" in the
HPE Intelligent Provisioning User Guide and online help.
To install an operating system on the server , use one of the following methods:
•
Manual installation—Insert the operating system CD into the USB-attached DVD-ROM drive (user
provided) and reboot the server. You must download the Service Pack for ProLiant from the SPP download
site (http://www.hpe.com/servers/spp/download) and create SPP media so that you can install the
drivers.
•
Remote deployment installation—Use Insight Control server provisioning for an automated solution to
remotely deploy an operating system.
For additional system software and firmware updates, download the Service Pack for ProLiant from the
Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (http://www.hpe.com/servers/spp/download). Software and firmware
should be updated before using the node for the first time, unless any installed software or components
require an older version.
For more information on using these installation methods, see the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (http://
www.hpe.com/info/ilo).
