HP SUM execution modes HP SUM provides three modes of execution for users: GUI, express, and silent. The express mode is for software (drivers, agents and tools) deployments only.

HP SUM can run in both standard Windows and Linux operating systems in online mode and in offline mode via special boot environments based on Linux boot kernels and Windows PE as long as all the prerequisites are met as stated previously.
