HP USB Key Utility
The HP USB Key Utility enables you to copy the Smart Update Firmware DVD contents to a USB memory key.
You can then run the Smart Update Firmware applications from a USB key instead of from the DVD. Insert a
USB key containing the Firmware DVD ISO image created by using the HP USB Key Creator for Windows®
utility into a USB port of your server or through the SUV (Serial-USB-Video) cable attached to your blade.
For Windows® operating systems, the HP USB Key Creator for Windows® utility must be downloaded from
the HP website (http://www.hp.com) and installed on a workstation. After installation, the utility places a
shortcut in the HP System Tools folder in the Programs start menu.
To create your bootable drive key and copy the contents of the DVD:
1. Insert your HP USB drive key.
2. Select the HP USB Key Utility shortcut in the HP System Tools folder.
Follow the onscreen instructions. The HP USB Key Creator formats the USB key. Therefore, files on the
key are lost. Ensure that you are using a USB key that is at least 1GB in size and does not contain any
valuable files.
