Downloading, installing, and importing Lenovo Hardware PRO Pack

The following procedure describes how to download, install, and import Lenovo Hardware PRO Pack.

Before you begin

As noted in Installation prerequisites, Lenovo Hardware Management Pack for Microsoft System Center Operations Manager must be installed on the management server prior to installing Lenovo Hardware PRO Pack.

Before installing Lenovo Hardware PRO Pack on a non-RMS server, ensure that the required Lenovo Hardware Management Pack for Microsoft System Center Operations Manager is installed on the non-RMS server.

For information about installing hot fixes, see Microsoft Support – Support for running System Center Operations Manager 2007 Service Pack 1 and System Center Essentials 2007 Service Pack 1 on a Windows Server 2008-based computer webpage.
