10 Replace Covers and Cables 1. Replace all covers as described in panel 6: "Removing and Replacing the Covers." 2. Connect the AC power cord and all other cables. CAUTION Replace all covers before operating the NetServer, even for a short time. Otherwise, damage to system components may result due to improper cooling air flow. 11 Verify Installed Accessories (Optional) If you wish, you may now verify accessories you have installed. Turn on power to the HP NetServer and the NOTE monitor, and observe the boot screen. The boot screen lists the hardware, as it is detected, such as CPU, memory, and accessory boards. If the system fails to boot, follow the instructions on the screen. SCSI devices connected to a disk array controller board (DAC), or the integrated NetRAID controller cannot be displayed at boot time, nor can an ISA non-Plug-and-Play board be displayed at boot time. 12 Configure the HP NetServer 1. Turn on the HP NetServer and monitor, insert the HP Navigator CD-ROM into the drive, and press the Reset button. If the system fails to boot, follow the instructions on the screen. NOTE If you have installed an ISA non-Plug-and-Play accessory board, you must reserve system resources for it by using the Setup Utility. Start the Setup Utility by pressing function key [F2] when prompted during the boot process. When the Setup Utility starts, select "Configuration," and then select "ISA non-Plug-and-Play Devices." Use the arrow keys to highlight a selection, press ENTER to display its options, and use the +/- keys to change values. When you've finished, save the changes and exit the utility. For more information about reserving system resources, refer to Information Assistant and to "Configuring an ISA Non-Plug-and-Play Board" in the HP NetServer LH 4 / LH 4r User Guide. (If the system hangs before the Setup Utility starts, remove the ISA non-Plug-and Play board, run the Setup utility to reserve system resources for it, then reinstall the board.) 2. Run Configuration Assistant and Installation Assistant: If you want to change the language, select "Set Preferences" from the HP Navigator main menu and choose a language. Select "Configuration and Installation Assistant." Select "Express" from the next screen to begin the "Express" mode of configuration. "Custom" configuration mode and "Replication" configuration mode are also available. Refer to the HP NetServer LH 4/ LH 4r User Guide for details. 3. Choose a NOS: Select the NOS you will install, and the version, if necessary. Installing the optional Novell® IntranetWare® NOS, which is part of the HP NetServer Software Option Package, requires a decryption key, obtained in panel 5: "Preparation." 4. Select the NOS installation mode: If you select certain versions of Novell® NetWare® / IntranetWare® or Microsoft® Windows™ NT Server, you will be asked, "Would you like to use HP's automated mode of NOS installation?" ! Select "Yes" to choose automated NOS installation for first-time installation of Novell NetWare / IntranetWare or Microsoft Windows NT Server on a factoryconfigured HP NetServer. ! Use the manual NOS installation if you are installing a NOS other than Novell NetWare / IntranetWare or Microsoft Windows NT Server, or if you have replaced accessory components (for example, if you replaced an HP network interface controller board with a thirdparty board that is not on HP's Tested Products List, use the manual NOS installation). 5.
