WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment:
• Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding plug is an important safety feature.
• Plug the power cord into grounded (earthed) electrical outlet that is easily accessible at all times.
• To disconnect power to the equipment, unplug the power cord from the power supply.
• Do not route the power cord where it can be walked on or pinched by items placed against it. Pay particular
attention to the plug, electrical outlet, and the point where the cord extends from the system.

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.
For additional system software and firmware updates, download the Service Pack for ProLiant from the Hewlett Packard
Enterprise website (
