Creating the Windows® XP image

1.

Connect a monitor, USB hub, keyboard, mouse, diskette drive, and CD/DVD drive to the Local I/O
Cable.

2.

Cycle power on the blade to initiate a reboot. When the BIOS console appears, change the BIOS
Remote Console Mode to Setup Mode. Setup Mode causes the NVIDIA graphics adapter and ATI video

adapter to both be visible to the Windows® operating system to ensure correct driver installation.

3.

Boot to the ISO image with both the floppy and diskette driver (HPcissm2) mounted using the virtual
media.

4.

Boot the workstation blade from the Windows® XP CD.

5.

Immediately after booting the Windows® operating system from the CD into the setup process, to install
third-party drivers, press the F6 key when prompted. The HP Smart Array P410i SAS controller driver
installs. If using the remote console, you might experience a short delay between when you press the F6

key and when the installation occurs.

6.

When prompted, press the S key to indicate the availability of a diskette with the P410i SAS controller
driver. Press Enter.

7.

When prompted for the driver diskette, insert the diskette containing the HP Smart Array P410i SAS
controller drivers, and then press Enter.

8.

Select the Windows® 2000 Driver for Smart Array P410i SAS controller driver. Press Enter to install the
driver.
