Procedures for performing a clean installation This section outlines the proper procedures to follow when performing a clean (new) installation of the Windows Server 2003 SP1 operating system on ProLiant servers. To complete a Windows Server 2003 SP1 installation fully supported by HP, follow these steps when setting up the system. Read the following sequence completely before you begin. Blade installation The ProLiant Essentials Rapid Deployment Pack is a server deployment product that facilitates the installation, configuration, and deployment of high-volumes of servers via a GUI-based console using either scripting or imaging technology. Especially designed for the HP BladeSystem servers, but supporting all ProLiant servers, the Rapid Deployment Pack has advanced features that can detect and display server blades based on their physical rack, enclosure, and bay location. You can set the deployment console to automatically install or redeploy a previous computer's configuration to a new blade when replaced. To install Windows Server 2003 SP1 on HP BladeSystem servers, HP recommends using Rapid Deployment Pack Version 2.0 (or later). All blade enclosures ship with a Foundation Pack which includes the Rapid Deployment Pack CD. The Rapid Deployment Pack CD contains all of the drivers, agents, and support software that the blade needs. Use the Rapid Deployment Pack CD with any deployment method chosen to install software on HP BladeSystem servers. For additional product information and usage instructions for Rapid Deployment Pack, visit www.hp.com/servers/rdp. Details about other deployment options can be found at the following locations: • For ProLiant BL e-Class: http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/proliant-bl/e- class/deployment.html • For HP BladeSystem p-Class: http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/proliant-bl/p- class/documentation.html Manual install To perform a manual installation: 1. Select a supported system platform from the server platforms listed in Table 2. 2. Inspect the system to confirm that it conforms to the platform-specific configuration listed in Table 2. If necessary, update the system ROMs as specified in this table. 3. Use the System Configuration Utility to configure the hardware for your server. See Table 7 to determine if this step is necessary for the server. 16
