Setup
Overview
Installing a server requires the following steps:
1. Power up the server ("Powering up the server" on page 23).
2. Configure the server ("Installing the operating system" on page 23).
Powering up the server
The rack initiates an automatic power-up sequence when the server is installed. If the default setting is
changed, use one of the following methods to power up the server:
Use Power Control function through BMC web interface.
Press and release the Power On/Standby button.
When the server goes from the standby mode to the full power mode, the system power LED changes
from off to solid green.
Powering on and selecting boot options in BIOS setup
1. Press the Power On/Standby button.
2. During the initial boot, press the Delete key in the HPE POST screen to enter the BIOS menu
screen. By default, the menus are in the English language.
3. Go to the Boot menu screen and select the desired Boot Option Priority.
4. Press F10 to Save & Exit and continue the booting process using the device you have chosen.
Installing the operating system
To operate properly, the server must have a supported operating system installed. For the latest
information on operating system support, see the product QuickSpecs on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise
website (http://www.hpe.com/info/supportos).
To install an operating system on the server, insert the operating system CD into the USB-attached
DVD-ROM drive (user provided) and reboot the node.
Software and firmware should be updated before using the node for the first time, unless any installed
software or components require an older version.
Driver resources
When adding new components (VGA, NIC, etc.) or re-installing the OS on your server, required drivers
can be found in the following websites:
