Operating system

This ProLiant server does not ship with provisioning media. Everything required to manage and install the system
software and firmware is preloaded on the server.
To operate properly, the server must have a supported operating system. Attempting to run an unsupported operating
system can cause serious and unpredictable results. For the latest information on operating system support, see the
Hewlett Packard Enterprise website.
Failure to observe UEFI requirements for ProLiant Gen10 servers can result in errors installing the operating system,
failure to recognize boot media, and other boot failures. For more information on these requirements, see the HPE UEFI
Requirements on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website.
To install an operating system on the server, use one of the following methods:
• Intelligent Provisioning—For single-server deployment, updating, and provisioning capabilities. For more information,
see Installing the operating system with Intelligent Provisioning.
• Insight Control server provisioning—For multiserver remote OS deployment, use Insight Control server provisioning
for an automated solution. For more information, see the Insight Control documentation on the Hewlett Packard
Enterprise website.
For additional system software and firmware updates, download the Service Pack for ProLiant from the Hewlett Packard
Enterprise website. Software and firmware must be updated before using the server for the first time, unless any
installed software or components require an older version.
For more information, see Keeping the system current.
