Procedure
1. Use the HPE Power Advisor (http://www.hpe.com/info/poweradvisor/online) to determine the power
draw of the system and verify that the server will continue to operate redundantly in the default
configuration.
To change the redundancy setting in the UEFI System Utilities, proceed with the following steps.
2. To access the UEFI System Utilities, press F9 during POST.
3. From the System Utilities screen, select System Configuration > BIOS/Platform Configuration
(RBSU) > Advanced Options.
4. Select the appropriate redundancy configuration from the Power Supply Requirements menu, and then
press Enter.
5. Press F10 to Save or F12 to Save and Exit.
Operating system
This ProLiant server does not ship with provisioning media. Everything required to manage and install the
system software and firmware is preloaded on the server.
To operate properly, the server must have a supported operating system. Attempting to run an unsupported
operating system can cause serious and unpredictable results. For the latest information on operating system
support, see the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website.
Failure to observe UEFI requirements for ProLiant Gen10 servers can result in errors installing the operating
system, failure to recognize boot media, and other boot failures. For more information on these requirements,
see the HPE UEFI Requirements on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website.
To install an operating system on the server, use one of the following methods:
• Intelligent Provisioning—For single-server deployment, updating, and provisioning capabilities. For more
information, see Installing the operating system with Intelligent Provisioning on page 51.
• Insight Control server provisioning—For multiserver remote OS deployment, use Insight Control server
provisioning for an automated solution. For more information, see the Insight Control documentation on
the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website.
For additional system software and firmware updates, download the Service Pack for ProLiant from the
Hewlett Packard Enterprise website. Software and firmware must be updated before using the server for
the first time, unless any installed software or components require an older version.
For more information, see Keeping the system current on page 193.
For more information on using these installation methods, see the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website.
