Setup 40
6.
Connect the power cord to the AC power source.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment:
• Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding plug is an important safety
feature.
• Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet that is easily accessible at
times.
• Unplug the power cord from the power supply to disconnect power to the equipment.
•
Do not route the power cord where it can be walked on or pinched by items placed against
it. Pay particular attention to the plug, electrical outlet, and the point where the cord extends
from the storage system.
Installing the operating system
This ProLiant server ships with Intelligent Provisioning installed. Everything needed 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. For the latest information on
operating system support, see the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website
(http://www.hpe.com/info/supportos).
To install an operating system on the server, use one of the following methods:
• Intelligent Provisioning—iLO Management is a feature on ProLiant servers that contains Intelligent
Provisioning for embedded server configuration, OS deployment, and provisioning capabilities.
Intelligent Provisioning can configure the server and install an operating system, eliminating the
need for SmartStart CDs and Smart Update Firmware DVDs used in past generations of ProLiant
servers.
To install an operating system on the server with Intelligent Provisioning (local or remote):
a. Connect the Ethernet cable, and then power on the server.
b. During server POST, press the F10 key.
c. Complete the initial Preferences and Registration portion of Intelligent Provisioning (on page 97).
d. At the 1 Start screen, click the Configure and Install button.
e. To finish the installation, follow the onscreen prompts. An Internet connection is required to
update the firmware and systems software.
• Remote deployment installation—To remotely deploy an operating system, use Insight Control
server provisioning for an automated solution.
For additional system software and firmware updates, download the Service Pack for ProLiant from the
Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (http://www.hpe.com/info/insightcontrol/docs). 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
103)."
Powering on and selecting a boot option
1. Press the Power On/Standby button.
2. During the initial boot:
o To modify the server configuration ROM default settings, press the F9 key in the ProLiant POST
screen to enter the UEFI System Utilities screen. By default, the System Utilities menus are in the
English language.
o If you do not need to modify the server configuration and are ready to install the system software,
press the F10 key to access Intelligent Provisioning.
