Server Installation Preconfigured Operating System WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment: • Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding plug is an important safety feature. • Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet that is easily accessible at all times. • Disconnect power from the server by unplugging the power cord from either the electrical outlet or the server. • Do not place anything on power cords or cables. Arrange them so that no one can accidentally step on or trip over them. Do not pull on a cord or cable. When unplugging the cord from the electrical outlet, grasp the cord by the plug. CAUTION: Use the SmartStart and Support Software CD as recovery software only. Powering up the server from the SmartStart and Support Software CD reconfigures the system and causes all data on the server to be lost. If the server was ordered with the operating system factory-installed, everything required to install the operating system is already on the server. Refer to the steps provided in the HP Factory-Installed Operating System Software User Guide for more information on using the operating system. To complete the installation process with a pre-configured operating system: 1. Power up the server. Refer to "Powering Up the Server" earlier in this chapter. 2. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the factory-installed operating system initialization process. After initialization is complete, the server will automatically go through POST. 3. Install the HP Management Agents on the server. Refer to the HP Management CD for information about installing the HP Management Agents for the operating system installed on the server. 4. After the server configuration is complete, back up the server. 5. Install any application software. 6. Register the server. Refer to "Registering the Server" later in this chapter.
