This ensures that the operating system is installed on the correct drive. Make sure that the Z: drive letter is free. Windows Server 2008 with SP1 creates the EFI partition here. HP recommends that you install the boot controller in the root cell. • Default MP/iLO settings for cell-based and entry-level servers For cell-based servers, the MP is assigned a static IP address at the factory before it ships. It is not assigned a DNS name and it is not DHCP enabled. If you are performing a headless server installation, you can connect to the MP over a LAN (instead of using a serial cable) by using this static IP for initial configuration of the MP. The default IP address of a cell-based server's MP is 192.168.1.1. The default user name and password are Admin and Admin. Change the IP address and the default password at installation. For entry-level servers with iLO MPs, the MP is assigned a default DNS name at the factory and is DHCP enabled. It is not assigned a default IP address. The default host name can be deduced from the MP's MAC address. The host name is in the form mpMAC, where MAC is the 12-digit MAC code of the MP's NIC. The MAC address of the MP LAN interface is typically located on a sticker on the back of the server. • Set Cell Local Memory to 100% (cell-based servers only) HP recommends that you set the Cell Local Memory (CLM) parameter to 100% for optimal server performance. Use the hardware partition (npar) tool. • Using F8 from a headless console Pressing the F8 key when using a headless console does not work. When prompted to press the F8 key, you must press the Esc 8 key sequence instead. Press the 8 key within two seconds after pressing the Esc key. Otherwise, the system registers only the Esc key and reboots. Tips and Tricks 27

Disconnect all drives except the boot drive prior to OS installation
Only the target operating system drive should be connected during installation. This ensures
that the operating system is installed on the correct drive. Make sure that the Z: drive letter
is free. Windows Server 2008 with SP1 creates the EFI partition here. HP recommends that
you install the boot controller in the root cell.
Default MP/iLO settings for cell-based and entry-level servers
For cell-based servers, the MP is assigned a static IP address at the factory before it ships. It
is not assigned a DNS name and it is not DHCP enabled. If you are performing a headless
server installation, you can connect to the MP over a LAN (instead of using a serial cable)
by using this static IP for initial configuration of the MP. The default IP address of a cell-based
server’s MP is 192.168.1.1. The default user name and password are
Admin
and
Admin
.
Change the IP address and the default password at installation.
For entry-level servers with iLO MPs, the MP is assigned a default DNS name at the factory
and is DHCP enabled. It is not assigned a default IP address. The default host name can be
deduced from the MP's MAC address. The host name is in the form
mp
MAC
, where
MAC
is
the 12-digit MAC code of the MP's NIC. The MAC address of the MP LAN interface is
typically located on a sticker on the back of the server.
Set Cell Local Memory to 100% (cell-based servers only)
HP recommends that you set the Cell Local Memory (CLM) parameter to 100% for optimal
server performance. Use the hardware partition (
npar
) tool.
Using F8 from a headless console
Pressing the
F8
key when using a headless console does not work. When prompted to press
the
F8
key, you must press the
Esc 8
key sequence instead. Press the
8
key within two
seconds after pressing the
Esc
key. Otherwise, the system registers only the
Esc
key and
reboots.
