Operating system
This ProLiant server does not ship with provisioning media. Everything required to manage and install the
system software and firmware is preloaded on the server.
To operate properly, the server must have a supported operating system. Attempting to run an
unsupported operating system can cause serious and unpredictable results. For the latest information on
operating system support, see the
Hewlett Packard Enterprise website .
Failure to observe UEFI requirements for ProLiant Gen10 servers can result in errors installing the
operating system, failure to recognize boot media, and other boot failures. For more information on these
requirements, see the
HPE UEFI Requirements on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website .
To install an operating system on the server, use one of the following methods:
• Intelligent Provisioning—For single-server deployment, updating, and provisioning capabilities. For
more information, see Installing the operating system with Intelligent Provisioning on page 41.
• Insight Control server provisioning—For multiserver remote OS deployment, use Insight Control server
provisioning for an automated solution. For more information, see the Insight Control documentation
on the
Hewlett Packard Enterprise website .
For additional system software and firmware updates, download the Service Pack for ProLiant from the
Hewlett Packard Enterprise website . Software and firmware must be updated before using the server
for the first time, unless any installed software or components require an older version.
For more information, see Keeping the system current on page 154.
For more information on using these installation methods, see the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website .
