operating system support, see the HP website To install an operating system on the server, use one of the following methods:

Intelligent Provisioning for embedded deployment, updating, and provisioning capabilities. Intelligent
Provisioning can configure the server and install an operating system, eliminating the need for
SmartStart CDs and Smart Update Firmware DVDs.
