systems. Additionally, when used in conjunction with SUM ("
), this
Smart Component allows the user to update firmware on remote servers from a central location. This
remote deployment capability eliminates the need for the user to be physically present at the server to
perform a firmware update.
Drivers
IMPORTANT:
Always perform a backup before installing or updating device drivers.
The server includes new hardware that may not have driver support on all OS installation media.
If you are installing an Intelligent Provisioning-supported OS, use Intelligent Provisioning (on page

downloaded as part of an SPP.
If you are installing drivers from SPP, be sure that you are using the latest SPP version that your server
supports. To verify that your server is using the latest supported version and for more information about
SPP, see the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (
