Overview of Server Installation
4. Power up the server by pressing the power button on the front of the server.
5. Before selecting the operating system, press the F8 key during POST if you are
using an ATA model to configure RAID array. The default configuration is
RAID 0.
IMPORTANT: To avoid automatic RAID 0 configuration in ATA models, you must configure
an array before OS installation. If you change the RAID level, you must re-install the operating
system. Refer to Chapter 6 for more information on configuring arrays.
6. To select the type of operating system and set the date and time, run ROM-Based
Setup Utility (RBSU) by pressing the F9 key when prompted during initial boot.
For more information on RBSU, refer to Chapter 5, “Server Configuration and
Utilities,” or refer to the HP ROM-Based Setup Utility User Guide.
7. Insert the SmartStart CD into the CD-ROM drive. Refer to the “Configuring the
Server” section in this guide for instructions. For SmartStart CD initialization
procedures, refer to Chapter 5, “Server Configuration and Utilities,” or the
ProLiant Essentials Foundation Pack shipped with the server.
8. Install the operating system software.
9. To manage the server, install Insight Manager, found on the Management CD.
For Management CD initialization procedures, refer to the ProLiant Essentials
Foundation pack shipped with the server.
IMPORTANT: You must install and use Insight Manager to benefit from the Pre-Failure
Warranty on processors, hard drives, and memory modules.
