Download the Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP) —SPP is a comprehensive system software and firmware update solution that is
delivered as a single ISO image. This solution uses Smart Update Manager (SUM) as the deployment tool.
- The preferred method for downloading an SPP is by creating an SPP custom download at
https://www.hpe.com/servers/spp/custom https://www.hpe.com/servers/spp/custom.
This option reduces the size of the SPP by excluding firmware and drivers for OS and server models that are not needed.
- The SPP is also available for download from the SPP download page at https://www.hpe.com/servers/spp/download
