Reinstalling the Operating System

If the operating system becomes corrupted, reinstall it using the enclosed SmartStart CD,
Management CD, and the Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES operating system CDs.

To reinstall the operating system, boot the server from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES
operating system CD #1 and follow the onscreen installation path instructions. If
necessary, create driver diskettes by inserting the SmartStart CD into an existing Linux
system and creating punch-out diskettes.

NOTE: For information about using SmartStart, refer to the ProLiant Essentials Foundation
Pack provided with the server.

Install the Linux PSPs from the SmartStart CD PSP autorun utility, or download and
