Use Esc+8 instead of F8 key on headless server
Issue
The Telnet and Hyperterminal applications on Windows NT4 and Windows
2000 do not correctly map the ASCII string for the function keys. For example,
during Power On Self Test (POST) the Smart Array firmware displays a banner
and configuration menu with instructions to press the
Esc
key to continue or
the
F8
key to enter the configuration utility. When running the system in a
headless configuration, pressing
F8
does not display the configuration menu.
Servers
All Integrity
Workaround
To transmit the correct ASCII string using these applications from a remote
terminal, press the
Esc
key immediately followed (within 1 second) by the
numeric value of the desired function key. For example, to send the ASCII string
for
F8
, press the
Esc
key immediately followed by the
8
key (if the terminal
emulator is set to UTF-8, you can press the
F8
key instead). An easier solution
to both problems is to simply use PuTTY instead of Telnet or Hyperterminal.
PuTTY is a terminal emulator available on your HP Smart Setup CD.

Issue
When installing software from the Microsoft RTM media using the
Custom
Install
option, Remote Desktop is disabled by default (this does not happen

2.
At the
SAC>
prompt, enter
cmd
and press the
Enter
key.
3.
Switch to a new command channel by pressing the
