Using an HP SD card as a boot device

With Intelligent Provisioning, you can use an HP SD card as a target for deploying an OS. The
following HP-supplied SD cards are supported as an alternative OS boot device:
HP 32GB SD Enterprise Mainstream Flash Media Kit (700136-B21)
HP 32GB microSD Enterprise Mainstream Flash Media Kit (700139–B21)
NOTE: You cannot perform an OS install on an SD card when there is a hard disk connected to
the server.
Either of these SD cards can be used as an alternative to hard drive or solid state drive storage
for deploying an OS on HP ProLiant servers. Using an SD card as a target for deploying an OS
provides the following advantages:
Deploys OSs to diskless servers and SAN storage
Uses less power than traditional drives
Reduces temperature, decreasing throttling and A/C costs
Reduces vibration, particularly in environments with high G-force
Frees drive bays for other uses
NOTE: SD Boot does not support deployment installations. See
(page 37).
