Intelligent Provisioning 3.30 and later includes HPE Rapid Setup Software. When you launch F10 mode from the POST
screen, you are prompted to select whether you want to enter the Intelligent Provisioning or HPE Rapid Setup Software
mode.
NOTE: After you have selected a mode, you must reprovision the server to change the mode that launches when you boot
to F10.
Intelligent Provisioning prepares the system for installing original, licensed vendor media and Hewlett Packard Enterprise-
branded versions of OS software. Intelligent Provisioning also prepares the system to integrate optimized server support
software from the Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP). SPP is a comprehensive systems software and firmware solution for
ProLiant servers, server blades, their enclosures, and HPE Synergy compute modules. These components are preloaded
with a basic set of firmware and OS components that are installed along with Intelligent Provisioning.
IMPORTANT: HPE ProLiant DX/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 Intelligent Provisioning user guide and online help.
After the server is running, you can update the firmware to install additional components. You can also update any
components that have been outdated since the server was manufactured.
To access Intelligent Provisioning:
• Press
F10 from the POST screen and enter either Intelligent Provisioning or HPE Rapid Setup Software.
• From the iLO web interface using
Always On. Always On allows you to access Intelligent Provisioning without
rebooting your server.

graphical interface.
HPE InfoSight for servers:
• Combines the machine learning and predictive analytics of HPE InfoSight with the health and performance monitoring
of Active Health System (AHS) and HPE iLO to optimize performance and predict and prevent problems
• Provides automatic collection and analysis of the sensor and telemetry data from AHS to derive insights from the
behaviors of the install base to provide recommendations to resolve problems and improve performance
