CAUTION: Always plan the rack installation so that the heaviest item is on the bottom of the rack. Install the heaviest item first, and continue to populate the rack from the bottom to the top. Install the server into the rack. For more information, see the Quick Deploy Rail System Installation Instructions that ship with the rack hardware kit. 3 Connecting peripheral devices to the server IMPORTANT: When using cable management arm components, be sure to leave enough slack in each of the cables to prevent damage to the cables when the server is extended from the rack. Connect the peripheral devices to the server. The ports are labeled on the rear of the server. For more information on ports and connectors, see the server user guide on the Documentation CD and on the HP ProLiant Gen8 Server Management Information Library website (http://www.hp.com/go/proliantgen8/docs). 4 Connecting the power cord to the power supply WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment: • Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding plug is an important safety feature. • Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet that is easily accessible at all times. • Unplug the power cord from the power supply to disconnect power to the equipment. • Do not route the power cord where it can be walked on or pinched by items placed against it. Pay particular attention to the plug, electrical outlet, and the point where the cord extends from the storage system. 1. Connect the power cord to the power supply. 2. Thread the power cord through the strain relief clip (if applicable). For instructions on using the power cord strain relief clip, see the instructions that ship with the clip. 3. Connect the power cord to the AC power source. 5 Powering on and selecting boot options 1. Connect the Ethernet cable and press the Power On/Standby button. 2. During the initial boot: o To modify the server configuration ROM default settings, press F9 when prompted from the start up sequence to enter the RBSU. By default, RBSU runs in the English language. o If you do not need to modify the server configuration and are ready to install the system software, press F10 to access Intelligent Provisioning. NOTE: If an HP Smart Array controller has been added or is embedded in the system, the controller defaults to a RAID configuration based on the size and number of hard drives installed. For more information on modifying the controller default settings, see the documentation on the Documentation CD. For more information on automatic configuration, see the HP ROM-Based Setup Utility User Guide on the Documentation CD or the iLO Management Engine Information Library (http://www.hp.com/go/ilomgmtengine/docs). 6 Installing the system software To install an operating system on a single server using Intelligent Provisioning: 1. If needed, access Intelligent Provisioning by rebooting the server and pressing F10. 2. In the application, complete step 1, Set Intelligent Provisioning preferences. 3. From the Home screen, click Perform Maintenance, and then click Firmware Update. 4. Ensure the latest drivers are available for installation. Select Intelligent Provisioning Software from the list of firmware and click Update. If the check box is not selected, the latest drivers are already installed. 5. From the Home screen, click Configure and Install. 6. Follow the on-screen prompts to finish the installation. To update your drivers and system software: Intelligent Provisioning automatically integrates optimized ProLiant server support software from the HP SPP. SPP is the installation package for operating system-specific bundles of ProLiant optimized drivers, utilities, management agents, and system firmware. For more information on using SPP, see the HP Service Pack for ProLiant User Guide on the Documentation CD or the SPP Information Library (http://www.hp.com/go/spp/documentation).
