To modify the server default settings, press the F9 key when prompted during the boot process to enter RBSU. By default, RBSU runs in the English language. NOTE: If an HP array controller has been added or is embedded in the system, the array controller will default to a RAID configuration based on the size and number of hard drives installed. Press the F8 key when prompted during the array controller initialization to use the ORCA utility to modify the controller default settings. For more information on the automatic configuration, see the HP ROM-Based Setup Utility User Guide on the Documentation CD. Installing the operating system To operate properly, the server must have a supported operating system. For the latest information on operating system support, see the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/supportos). Three methods are available to install an operating system on the server: • SmartStart assisted installation-Insert the SmartStart CD into an external USB CD-ROM drive, and then reboot the server. • Manual installation-Insert the operating system CD into an external USB CD-ROM drive, and then reboot the server. This process might require you to obtain additional drivers from the HP website (http://www.hp.com/support). • Remote deployment installation-The operating system can be remotely deployed using the Rapid Deployment Pack (RDP) or PXE boot over an Ethernet connection. Follow the on-screen instructions to begin the installation process. For information on using these installation methods, see the SmartStart installation poster in the HP ProLiant Essentials Foundation Pack, included with the server.
