recommends updating the firmware upon initial setup. Also, downloading and updating the latest
version of Intelligent Provisioning ensures the latest supported features are available.
• For ProLiant servers, firmware is updated using the Intelligent Provisioning Firmware Update
utility.
• Do not update firmware if the version you are currently running is required for compatibility.

Scripting Toolkit for Windows and Linux

The STK for Windows and Linux is a server deployment product that delivers an unattended automated
installation for high-volume server deployments. The STK is designed to support ProLiant servers. The
toolkit includes a modular set of utilities and important documentation that describes how to apply these
tools to build an automated server deployment process.
The STK provides a flexible way to create standard server configuration scripts. These scripts are used to
automate many of the manual steps in the server configuration process. This automated server
configuration process cuts time from each deployment, making it possible to scale rapid, high-volume
server deployments.
For more information or to download the STK, see the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website.
