Installing the operating system
To operate properly, the server must have a supported operating system. For the latest information on operating system support, see the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (https://www.hpe.com/us/en/servers/server-operating-systems.html).
HPE ProLiant 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 HPE Intelligent Provisioning User Guide and online help.
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). 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 on using these installation methods, see the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (https://www.hpe.com/us/en/servers/integrated-lights-out-ilo.html).
