Setting Up An Autoconfigurable Server
New HP ProLiant server models self-configure when they are powered up for the
first time. During this autoconfiguration process, the system language is set to
English by default, and Microsoft® Windows® 2000 is selected as the default
operating system. (However, the operating system must still be installed. This is
done later in the overall server setup procedure.) Also, if the server has fewer
than seven physical drives installed, they are automatically configured into a
logical drive with a suitable RAID level.
For more information about the autoconfiguration process, refer to the server-
specific setup and installation guide or the HP ROM-Based Setup Utility User
Guide.
IMPORTANT: Do not power up the server until the hardware
configuration is satisfactory, as described in the procedure given in this
section.
To set up the server:
1. Install physical drives if necessary. (The number of drives present determines
the RAID level that is autoconfigured. For details, refer to the server-specific
setup and installation guide or the HP ROM-Based Setup Utility User Guide.)
2. Power up the server. The autoconfiguration process runs. (To change the
system language or operating system from their default settings, press the F9
key. This action opens RBSU, which allows you to manually configure the
server.)
3. When autoconfiguration has finished running, use the SmartStart CD that is
supplied in the server kit to install the operating system and device drivers.
