Powering up and configuring the server
To power up the server, press the Power on/Standby button.
While the server boots, RBSU and the ORCA utility are automatically configured to
prepare the server for operating system installation. To configure these utilities
manually:
• Press the F8 key when prompted during POST to configure the array controller
using ORCA. The array controller defaults to RAID 0 with one drive installed
and RAID 1 with more than one drive installed.
• Press the F9 key when prompted during POST to change the server settings, such
as the settings for language and operating system, using RBSU. The system is set
up by default for the English language and a Microsoft® Windows® Server 2003
installation.
For more information about the automatic configuration, refer to the HP ROM-Based
Setup Utility User Guide located on the Documentation CD.
Installing the operating system
To operate properly, the server must have a supported operating system. For the latest
information on supported operating systems, refer to the HP website at
http://hp.com/go/supportos .
Two methods are available to install an operating system on the server:
• SmartStart assisted installation—Insert the SmartStart CD into the CD-ROM
drive, and reboot the server.
