HP ProLiant ML310 G3 Server - Manual (Page 26)

A Troubleshooting
Reinstalling the operating system
If the server operating system becomes corrupt, reinstall it using the SmartStart CD or HP Intelligent
Provisioning, the HP Management CD, and the HP branded version of the Microsoft® Windows®
operating system CD.
To reinstall the operating system, boot the server from the SmartStart CD or HP Intelligent Provisioning
and follow the on-screen installation path instructions.
CAUTION: Booting from the SmartStart CD permanently erases any disk partitions and data
currently on the disk drive.
For information about using SmartStart or HP Intelligent Provisioning, see the documentation included
in the ProLiant Essentials Foundation Pack provided with the server.
The operating system can also be reinstalled by booting the server from the HP branded version
of the Microsoft® Windows® operating system CD. During the installation process, you might be
prompted to press the F6 key to supply the appropriate storage driver. If so, the storage driver can
be obtained from the SmartStart CD or from the
HP Technical Support website .
