HP USB key utility
The HP USB Key Utility enables you to copy the Firmware Maintenance CD contents to a USB memory
key. You can then run the Firmware Maintenance applications from a USB key instead of from the CD.
Insert a USB key containing the Firmware CD 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 the
server to be updated if the server supports the SUV cable.
