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 35.
• 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 121.
For more information on using these installation methods, see the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website.
Installing the operating system with Intelligent Provisioning
Procedure
1. Connect the Ethernet cable between the network connector on the server and a network jack.
2. Press the Power On/Standby button.
3. During server POST, press F10.
4. Complete the initial Preferences and Registration portion of Intelligent Provisioning.
5. At the 1 Start screen, click Configure and Install.
6. To finish the installation, follow the onscreen prompts. An Internet connection is required to update the
firmware and systems software.
Installing or deploying an operating system
Before installing an operating system, observe the following:
• Be sure to read the HPE UEFI requirements for ProLiant servers on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise
website. If UEFI requirements are not met, you might experience boot failures or other errors when
installing the operating system.
• Update firmware before using the server for the first time, unless software or components require an
older version. For more information, see "Keeping the system current on page 121."
• For the latest information on supported operating systems, see the Hewlett Packard Enterprise
website.
• The server does not ship with OS media. All system software and firmware is preloaded on the server.
