Prerequisites
HP SUM and SPP Boot environment change
Beginning with HP SUM 6.2.0 and HP SPP 2014.02.0, the HP USB Key Utility no longer supports
multi-boot setups on a single device. HP SUM and SPP ISOs contain signed parts to work with the UEFI
bootloader. This change no longer allows for multi-boot setups on a single device, such as a USB key.
IMPORTANT: Before deploying any components to a system, be sure that a recent backup of the
system is available in the event the deployment procedure fails.
Enable the network ports that HP SUM uses. For more information, see “Network ports used by HP
SUM” (page 8).
Make sure there is at least 1 GB of free disk space available for HP SUM to generate temporary files
it uses.
NOTE: HP SUM uses the host system’s language settings to determine which language it displays.
