Management Security
HPE ProLiant Gen10 servers are built with some of the industry's most advanced security capabilities, out of
the box, with a foundation of secure embedded management applications and firmware. The management
security provided by HPE embedded management products enables secure support of modern workloads,
protecting your components from unauthorized access and unapproved use. The range of embedded
management and optional software and firmware available with the iLO Advanced and iLO Advanced
Premium Security Edition licenses provides security features that help ensure protection, detection, and
recovery from advanced cyber-attacks. For more information, see the HPE Gen10 Server Security Reference
Guide on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Information Library at http://www.hpe.com/info/EIL.

Scripting Toolkit for Windows and Linux
The STK for Windows and Linux is a server deployment product that delivers an unattended automated
installation for high-volume server deployments. The STK is designed to support ProLiant servers. The toolkit
includes a modular set of utilities and important documentation that describes how to apply these tools to
build an automated server deployment process.
The STK provides a flexible way to create standard server configuration scripts. These scripts are used to
automate many of the manual steps in the server configuration process. This automated server configuration
process cuts time from each deployment, making it possible to scale rapid, high-volume server deployments.
For more information or to download the STK, see the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website.
UEFI System Utilities
The UEFI System Utilities is embedded in the system ROM. Its features enable you to perform a wide range
of configuration activities, including:
• Configuring system devices and installed options.
• Enabling and disabling system features.
• Displaying system information.
• Selecting the primary boot controller or partition.
• Configuring memory options.
• Launching other preboot environments.
HPE servers with UEFI can provide:
• Support for boot partitions larger than 2.2 TB. Such configurations could previously only be used for boot
drives when using RAID solutions.
• Secure Boot that enables the system firmware, option card firmware, operating systems, and software
collaborate to enhance platform security.
• UEFI Graphical User Interface (GUI)
• An Embedded UEFI Shell that provides a preboot environment for running scripts and tools.
• Boot support for option cards that only support a UEFI option ROM.
