Quick installation procedure (Windows® or Linux®)
Before installing the controller, refer to the support matrix on the HP website
(
http://www.hp.com/products1/serverconnectivity ) to confirm that the server and
operating system support the controller.
To install the controller:
1.
Power down the server.
2.
Install the controller hardware ("Installing the controller hardware" on page
9 ).
3.
If necessary, install additional physical drives.
The number of drives in the server determines the RAID level that is
autoconfigured when the server is powered up (next step).
4.
Power up the server.
5.
Update the controller firmware ("Updating the firmware" on page
13 ).
When the firmware update process is complete, the server reboots and runs
through a POST procedure. This POST procedure halts briefly during
controller initialization and prompts you to open ORCA.
6.
Open ORCA ("Configuring an array" on page
15 ):
– If using a headless console, press the Esc+8 key combination.
– Otherwise, press the F8 key.
7.
Configure the logical boot drive, and then exit from ORCA.
