IMPORTANT: Microsoft® Internet Explorer is required to run the ACU. Internet Explorer is used
to interface with the array controller. For the page to display properly, the server IP address
must be included in the trusted sites list. Internet Explorer must be restarted after adding the IP
address to the trusted sites list for the settings to take effect.

5. Configure the remaining physical drives into logical drives, and run Disk Administrator to partition
and format the additional drive space.
For more information about using the ACU, refer to the HP Online Help
( http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/proliantstorage/software-
management/acumatrix/index.html ).
Configuring the disk drives
The primary logical drive, which contains the operating system, is the only drive on the server that is
configured during the operating system installation. Additional space that is not partitioned is also located
on the primary drive. This nonpartitioned space and any additional disk drives on the server must be
partitioned and formatted using Disk Administrator before they can be available for use.
If an array controller has been purchased with the server, refer to "Configuring array controllers (on page
15 )" for procedures.
1. Click Start, and select All Programs>Administrative Tools>Computer Management.
2. Expand the Storage directory, and then select Disk Management. The disk and logical drive
information appears on the right side of the window.
3. Click Action, and then click Rescan Disks if the new logical drive created by the ACU does not
appear on the bottom right side of the Computer Management window as unallocated space.
4. Right-click Disk 1 on the bottom right panel, which displays a small red circle on the disk icon, and

Allocation Unit Size, and then either enter the Volume Label or accept the default label.
