Your system is now ready to go online. Reinstall from a GUI Console HP Integrity servers that are factory-installed with Windows Server 2003 are shipped with HP Reinstallation media, which enables you to restore the system to its factory settings. Reinstalling the operating system involves loading the image from the Reinstallation media onto the boot disk and, after the initial boot, configuring the system. Load the System Image to the Boot Disk To reinstall Windows Server 2003 from the local GUI console, complete the following steps: 1. Configure your boot controller and drive. If you are using a RAID adapter, follow the RAID installation documentation to prepare the adapter and configure the RAID type. Then disconnect or unplug all drives except the one connected to the boot controller, to prevent unintentional data loss. CAUTION: Reinstallation overwrites all files on the boot disk. The boot disk is determined by bus search order and might not be the disk you expect it to be. HP strongly recommends disconnecting or unplugging all drives from the server except the boot disk. This includes all SAN storage. 2. Because Windows Server 2003 cannot create a boot entry if one exists, delete all existing boot entries. To delete boot entries, choose one of the following methods: • Use the EFI Maintenance menu: - If you are using the Enhanced EFI Boot Manager Menu (gray background), select EFI Boot Manager Menu > Boot Configuration > Remove Boot Entry. - If you are using the Legacy EFI Boot Manager Menu (black background), select EFI Boot Manager Menu > Boot Option Maintenance Menu > Delete Boot Option(s). Then scroll down to the desired boot entry and press Enter. • Clear the NVRAM using the instructions in your Platform Reference Guide. 3. Insert the HP Reinstallation media into the DVD drive. 40 Installing the OS
