For more information about any phase of the installation procedure, refer to the HP Smart Array 6402 Series Controllers User Guide on the Documentation CD in the controller kit. NOTE If you are installing the Smart Array 6402 controller for internal storage, please refer to the "Internal Cabling Guide for the HP Smart Array 6400 Series Controller" document included on the Documentation CD. Install Smart Array 6402 Software Use the steps in this section to configure your HP Smart Array as the boot controller. After the OS installation is complete, the HP Array Configuration Utility (ACU) can be used to configure the rest of your logical drives. Step 1. When using an HP Smart Array controller as your boot controller, use the Option Rom Configuration for Arrays (ORCA) utility to configure your logical boot drive. The ORCA utility can only be accessed when the system is booting. Press the F8 key when the prompt appears on the screen during boot to start ORCA and configure your logical boot drive. Refer to the HP Smart Array 6402 Series Controllers User Guide (available on the HP Smart Setup media) for details on using the ORCA utility. NOTE FOR CELL-BASED SYSTEMS: The Smart Array Option ROM must be loaded manually the first time during both manual or software pre-load installations. This can be done at the EFI shell by executing a search all command at the EFI prompt. The F8 prompt will appear. Continue with the configuration without resetting the system. Step 2. Once the logical boot drive is configured, exit ORCA, select the EFI Shell [Built-in] from the EFI Boot Manager, then type reset. The OS installation can proceed after the reboot is complete. If you are performing a manual installation and using the Smart Array 6402 as your boot controller, you must load an OEM boot driver: Launch the EFI-Based Setup Utility (EBSU). Instructions on how to launch the EBSU are provided in the, HP Integrity Server Essentials Foundation Pack, HP Smart Setup Installation Poster for Microsoft Windows in the Manual OS Installation section. Select Load OEM Boot Driver by pressing the "b" key. Select the appropriate controller at the prompt to load the boot driver, then exit EBSU. NOTE For remote access, the Telnet and Hyperterminal applications on Windows NT4 and Windows 2000 do not correctly map the ASCII string for the function keys. To enter the configuration utility during POST, press the "Esc" key immediately followed by pressing "8" after the Smart Array banner is displayed on the remote console. An alternative to using built-in Windows tools is to use putty, a utility provided on Smart Setup. Step 3. Install the operating system. Step 4. When installing additional Smart Array controllers, ensure each controller has been updated to the latest revision of the driver. Refer to the Smart Array Release Notes for instructions on how to do this. Chapter 3 29
