Using the HP USB Key Utility
The HP USB Key Utility is a Windows application that enables you to copy Intelligent Provisioning
contents to a USB flash drive. After being copied to the USB flash drive, Intelligent Provisioning
can be started from the USB flash drive instead of from the CD or DVD. This process is beneficial
in headless-server operations. It also simplifies the storage, transportation, and usage of the CD
or DVD contents by allowing customers to retrieve their images from the web and customize them
as needed.
The HP USB Key Utility is a Windows application that enables you to copy SPP and other CD or
DVD images to a USB flash drive.
Prerequisites
Installing applications onto a USB flash drive requires a supported source CD, DVD, or ISO, and
a USB flash drive with adequate storage space for storing the source contents. The USB Key Utility
requires a USB 2.0 flash drive with a storage size larger than the media or ISO image (2 GB or
greater).
