Installing the operating system
To operate properly, the server must have a supported operating system installed. For the latest
information on operating system support, see the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website

IMPORTANT:
HPE ProLiant XL servers do not support operating system installation with
Intelligent Provisioning, but do support the maintenance features. For more information, see

and online
help.
To install an operating system on the server, use one of the following methods:
•
Manual installation—Insert the operating system CD into the USB-attached DVD-ROM drive (user
provided) and reboot the node. You must download the Service Pack for ProLiant from the SPP
download site (

can install the drivers.
•
Remote deployment installation—Use Insight Control server provisioning for an automated solution
to remotely deploy an operating system.
For additional system software and firmware updates, download the Service Pack for ProLiant from the
Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (
http://www.hpe.com/servers/spp/download

firmware should be updated before using the node for the first time, unless any installed software or
components require an older version.
