Installing the OS with the controller driverInstalling the OS with the controller driver
PrerequisitesPrerequisites
Ensure that you have the controller driver available. Obtain it by extracting it from the Service Pack for Proliant (SPP) ( https://www.hpe.com/servers/spphttps://www.hpe.com/servers/spp) or by
downloading it from the Hewlett Packard Enterprise websiteHewlett Packard Enterprise website .
ProcedureProcedure
1. Power on the server.
2. Configure a logical drive or select physical drives for JBOD mode using the configuration utility in UEFI System Utilities.
3. Launch the OS installation and point to the controller driver when prompted.
4. If the OS utility does not see the drive, repeat the step to configure the logical drive or select physical drives for JBOD and retry the installation.
5. After the installation is complete, use iLO GUI or the SPP to update the controller firmware if it is not the latest revision. For more information on firmware
update through iLO, see "Updating iLO or server firmware by using the flash firmware feature " in HPE iLO 6 User GuideHPE iLO 6 User Guide .

ProcedureProcedure
1. Power down the server.
2. Install drives, if necessary.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends drives of similar type. All drives grouped in a logical drive must meet the following criteria:
They must be either NVMe, SAS, or SATA.
They must be either all hard drives or all solid state drives.
For the most efficient use of drive space, the drives must have comparable capacity.
For more information about drive installation, see Server documentation.
3. Use the internal SAS cable identified in the server HPE MR Gen11 Storage Controllers QuickSpecsHPE MR Gen11 Storage Controllers QuickSpecs that is compatible with the controller:
If the drives are hot-plug capable, connect the internal connector of the controller to the connector on the hot-plug drive cage.
If the drives are not hot-plug capable, connect the internal connector of the controller to the non-hot-plug drives.
4. Close or install the access panel, and secure it with thumbscrews, if any are present.
CAUTION:CAUTION:
Do not operate the server for long periods with the access panel open or removed. Operating the server in this manner results in improper
airflow and improper cooling that can lead to thermal damage.
5. Power up the server.
