Completing the operating system installation

IMPORTANT:

Before powering up the server and configuring the operating system software,

connect the server hardware as described in the server user guide. Do not install additional

hardware devices until after the software installation is complete.

IMPORTANT:

If the system prompts you for an installation path for files to be copied during the

installation of additional hardware or software components, enter the path

C:\Windows

Server 2003 R2\I386

for the original files. If the system prompts you for HP driver files,

enter the path

C:\HPDRVRS.

Driver files are located in subdirectories in this path. To view the

directory, click Browse.

IMPORTANT:

To successfully complete the software installation, TCP/IP services must be

installed and the server must be connected to an active network connection.

3.

capacity.

5.

Follow the online prompts. Several status screens appear during the software installation, describing
the process.

CAUTION:

The server requires a reboot at the end of the installation. Do not power down the

server at any time during the installation process. Any power interruption during the installation

process could prevent proper completion of the installation and prevent the operating system
from restarting.
