Lights-Out management support Lights-Out management products, such as Integrated Lights-Out 2 (iLO 2), Integrated Lights-Out (iLO), and Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition II (RILOE II), remain an important part of the ProLiant solution by adding support for the Windows Server 2003 OS. Drivers for these products are included in the ProLiant Support Pack for Microsoft Windows Server 2003. For information regarding supported remote management features and functionality on Windows Server 2003, refer to the QuickSpecs at www.hp.com/servers/lights-out. SmartStart installation paths Whether you choose a SmartStart assisted installation or a manual OS installation, server deployment of Microsoft Windows Server 2003 SP2 is consistent and easy every time with ROM-based utilities. To fully optimize the performance of your hardware platform, a SmartStart assisted installation walks you through the entire OS installation process: SmartStart prepares the server for installation, allows you to install the OS using the vendor-supplied CDs, and provides automated installation of server support software using ProLiant Support Packs (PSPs). NOTE: When using the SmartStart assisted installation feature in SmartStart 7.70 to deploy Windows Server 2003 SP2 and PSP 7.70, use the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2 OS selection. For a manual installation of the OS, you can take advantage of the ROM-based utilities and vendorsupplied OS media before manually installing server support software from the SmartStart CD. For more information on SmartStart, go to the SmartStart website at www.hp.com/servers/smartstart. The installation guide, available on this website, walks you through both SmartStart installation paths.
