Configuring the chassis
For further information on setting up and configuring your system, see the HP ProLiant SL4500 Series Quick
Setup Instructions and the HP ProLiant SL4500 Series Setup and Installation Guide.
Powering up and configuring the server
To power up the server, press the Power On/Standby button.
While the server boots, RBSU and the ORCA utility are automatically configured to prepare the server for
operating system installation.
To configure these utilities manually:
•
Press the F8 key when prompted during the array controller initialization to configure the array
controller using ORCA.
•
Press the F9 key when prompted during the boot process to change the server settings using RBSU. The
system is set up by default for the English language.
For more information on the automatic configuration, refer to the HP ROM-Based Setup Utility User Guide
located on the Documentation CD.
Installing the operating system for G7 servers
To operate properly, the system must have a supported operating system installed. For the latest information
on supported operating systems, see the HP website
To install the operating system, use one of the following methods:
•
PXE delivery of an OS from a network PXE server, if one is available.
•
Manual installation—Insert the operating system CD into the USB-attached DVD-ROM drive (user
provided) and reboot the node.
You will need to download the HP Service Pack for ProLiant from the SPP download site
and create SPP media so that you can install the controller
drivers.
Do not use the SmartStart 8.70 CD included with this system to install the operating system. The CD is
included so that you can take advantage of the functionality of the embedded firmware RAID on the node by
installing the hpahcisr driver. For complete instructions on obtaining the hpahcisr driver, see "Appendix:
Install the hpahcisr driver for OS installation (on page
)."
Deploying management software
HP Insight Management is an integrated suite of software used to simplify provisioning and management of
your HP ProLiant SL4500 Series solution.
Use the wizard-based installer to configure and license HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) and Insight
Management software rapidly and consistently, which reduces manual procedures and enables faster
production deployment of HP SL servers.
If previous chassis have been installed, it is not necessary to deploy the management software. New devices
are discovered and can be managed by the previously installed management system, version 7.x or later.
