Checking installation parameters

During the installation and configuration process, consider the following:

A EULA might be displayed for Windows installations.

The Firmware Update screen might be displayed at this time, depending on the following two
system settings:

In the Step 1: Set Preferences screen, System Software Update must have been enabled.

In the Step 1: Hardware Settings screen, Update before OS Install must have been selected.

If the Firmware Update screen is displayed, follow the on-screen prompts to obtain and install
the latest firmware on server components. When the updates are complete, the Installing OS
page is displayed, ready to begin the OS installation.

For more information about updating firmware, see the following sections:

“Step 1: Setting Intelligent Provisioning preferences” (page 8)

“Step 1: Hardware Settings” (page 21)

“Firmware Update” (page 36)

If you attempt to deploy an OS on a server with no installed drives, the server reboots and,
after POST, a page is displayed indicating that the settings are being applied. The deployment
does not proceed, but messages are written to the IML.

For Windows installations, messages about an untested Windows version and hpkeyclick
messages might be displayed while the drivers are installed. This is expected behavior. No
action is required.
