Chapter 1
Setting Up the HP Server
5
8) Connect Peripherals
Connect the keyboard, mouse, monitor, and
UPS to the Server.
If you don’t use a UPS with the Server, you
may experience an arcing effect when you plug
in the power cord to the AC power source. This
is normal, due to the high inrush current of the
power supply.
For details on connecting the keyboard, mouse,
monitor, and UPS, refer to Chapter 7,
"Connecting the Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse,
and UPS.”
9) Power up the HP Server
Verify the HP Server tc2100 passes POST
successfully.
If the operating system was not loaded prior to
your receipt of the Server, you will see an error
message “No operating system found” when
the Server completes the boot process.
Check the HP Server’s BIOS version against
the latest BIOS version listed on HP’s web site
for this Server at: http:\\
www.hp.com
If you don’t have the latest BIOS version, you
will need to update the BIOS with the utility on
the Startup CD-ROM before installing the NOS
and its drivers.
10) Run the HP Startup
CD-ROM to create the
diskettes
Run the HP Startup CD-ROM (NOS
drivers/DiagTools/BIOS upgrade) on any
Windows PC with an HTML browser to create
the required diskettes for the various utilities on
the Startup CD-ROM. These utilities are used
to flash the BIOS and install the NOS drivers.
If the Windows PC does not auto-start the
Startup menu, start it by opening the
Startup.htm file, found at the root level of the
Startup CD.
Refer to the Welcome menu on the Startup
CD-ROM, or the
HP Server tc2100 NOS
Installation Guide
for instructions.
