When you're setting up and configuring new ProLiant servers, the last thing you need is a complicated installation. Get your systems up and running quickly with HP Insight Foundation suite for ProLiant.

HP provides the tools that you need to setup, monitor, and update your ProLiant ML, DL, and BL 300 series and greater servers as part of the server purchase process. Insight Foundation, including HP Systems Insight Manager, can even send service alerts back to ensure the fastest possible response to server hardware errors.


The HP Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP) replaces the Smart Update Firmware DVD. The final version of the Smart Update Firmware DVD ISO will be 10.10. During this extended transition period, older products are released concurrently with the SPP which contains the same content and functionality as the following products:

  • Smart Update Firmware DVD
  • ProLiant Support Pack for Windows
  • ProLiant Support Pack for Linux
