You create a file like: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hpconfig-repo.list

That tells your distribution code name is "noble"

Googling a bit gets me to this page with the package list of a repo
containing the tool you look for:

https://downloads.linux.hpe.com/SDR/repo/mcp/ubuntu/dists/noble/current/non-free/binary-amd64/Packages

So deducting from that URL you want to put the line (mind you the mail
program might wrap the line below, you want a single line):

deb http://downloads.linux.hpe.com/SDR/repo/mcp 
noble/current non-free


...into the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hpconfig-repo.list file

then run:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install hpconfig

(you might need to allow it to install the package unsigned, I could
not find a GPG key for the repo)
