Refer to the installation instructions that ship with the rack kit to install the cable
management arm.
Powering up and configuring the server
To power up the server, press the Power On/Standby button.
While the server boots, RBSU is automatically configured to prepare the server
for OS installation.
To manually configure the utilities, press the F9 key when prompted during the
boot process to change the server settings using RBSU. The system is set up by
default for the English language.
NOTE: If an array controller has been added or is embedded in the
system, the ORCA utility provides a default RAID configuration based
on the size and number of hard drives installed.
For more information on the automatic configuration, refer to the HP ROM-
Based Setup Utility User Guide located on the Documentation CD.
