Installation Overview
The details of the steps required to install the controller depend on the server model
and whether the server is a new or existing one. The following flowcharts summarize
the installation procedures for the most common scenarios.
Procedure for a New, Autoconfigurable System
Some new HP ProLiant server models self-configure when they are powered up for
the first time. During the autoconfiguration process, the system language is set to
English by default, and Microsoft Windows 2000 is selected as the default operating
system. (However, you must still install the operating system. This is done later in
the overall controller installation procedure.) If you want to use a different system
language or operating system, you can press the F9 key at any time. This action
opens RBSU, which allows you to manually configure the server.
Also, if the server has fewer than seven physical drives installed, ORCA
automatically configures the drives into an array, builds a logical drive, and sets a
RAID level suitable for the number of drives.
To determine if your server is autoconfigurable, refer to the server-specific setup and
installation guide.
IMPORTANT: Do not power up the server until the hardware configuration is satisfactory, as
described in the procedure given in this section.
