HP ProLiant ML150 Server - Manual (Page 5)

Introduction
This guide provides instructions for completing the installation of the
factory-installed Microsoft® Windows® 2000 Server software operating system.
The operating system is preloaded on the server disk drive before the server is
shipped to you. The latest drivers are also loaded on the server disk drive and
integrated with the preloaded server operating system.
The normal server operating system installation process is shortened for a
preloaded server operating system. This installation should require approximately
20 to 25 minutes, compared to the normal CD installation time of an hour and a half.
You are required to enter user-specific information, such as the server name,
IP address, and regional settings.
The HP factory-installed software for Windows 2000 Server is:
•
Ready to run. You are guided through a Mini-Setup wizard, after which any
HP specific components are installed and, where possible, configured. After any
required restarts of the operating system, the Windows 2000 installation is
complete and ready to perform any required user configuration.
•
Preconfigured with the networking protocol TCP/IP.
NOTE: Windows 2000 Server requires TCP/IP services to be installed. The server must
be connected to an active network connection if a dynamically obtained IP address is
desired. An active network connection is not required if a static IP address is supplied
during the installation.
