1 Installing and configuring the server Setup overview Your HP ProLiant Storage Server comes preinstalled with either the Windows® Storage Server™ 2003 R2 operating system (32-bit or 64-bit version) or the Microsoft® Windows® Unified Data Storage Server 2003, Enterprise x64 Edition operating system. Microsoft Windows Storage Server 2003 R2 extends the Windows Storage Server 2003 operating system, providing a more efficient way to manage and control access to local and remote resources. In addition, Windows Storage Server 2003 R2 provides a scalable, security-enhanced Web platform for simplified branch server management, improved identity and access management, and more efficient storage management. IMPORTANT: The Microsoft® Windows® Storage Server 2003 x64 Edition operating system is designed to support 32-bit applications without modification; however, any 32-bit applications that are run on this operating system should be thoroughly tested before releasing the storage server to a production environment. Microsoft® Windows® Unified Data Storage Server 2003, Enterprise x64 Edition operating system provides unified storage server management capabilities, simplified setup and management of storage and shared folders, and support for Microsoft iSCSI Software Target. IMPORTANT: For more information about Microsoft® Windows® Unified Data Storage Server 2003 operating system, see "Enterprise storage servers" on page 119. Planning for installation Before you install your HP ProLiant Storage Server, you need to make a few decisions. Determining a network access method Before beginning setup and startup procedures, decide upon an access method to connect to the storage server. The type of network access you select is determined by whether or not the network has a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. If the network has a DHCP server, you can access the storage server through the direct attachment, remote browser, Remote Desktop, or remote management methods. If your network does not have a DHCP server, you must access the storage server through the direct attachment method. HP ProLiant Storage Server 17
