For more information on using these installation methods, see the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/ilo). Deploying management software HP Insight Management is an integrated suite of software used to simplify provisioning and management of your HP ProLiant SL4500 Series solution. Use the wizard-based installer to configure and license HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) and Insight Management software rapidly and consistently, which reduces manual procedures and enables faster production deployment of HP SL servers. If previous chassis have been installed, it is not necessary to deploy the management software.
