Installing a Service Partition You must have a service partition set up for your HP Carrier Grade Server cc3310, to be supported by HP. The service partition should come preloaded in your server, but you can set up a service partition (if needed) using the HP Server cc3310 User Information Diagnostics and Utilities Resource CD. The service partition includes utilities and other software that can be run locally or remotely to assist in server management. The service partition uses approximately 40 MB of hard disk space. NOTE It is highly recommended that you install the service partition before installing an operating system. For more information, refer to the Service Partition section in the ISM Installation and User's Guide. This document is included on the HP Server c3310 User Information Diagnostics and Utilities Resource CD shipped with your server. To determine if a service partition exists on your drive, perform the following: 1. Boot the server. (This should be done as part of the initial boot.) 2. Check the displayed screen. If F4 is visible at the bottom of the screen, a service partition is present. (You can then install your OS.) NOTE If F4 is not included in the initial boot display, you must install a service partition before proceeding. To install the service partition using the server configuration wizard: 1. Use the resource CD to boot the server to the server configuration wizard. 2. Click on the Continue button. 62 Chapter 5
