HP ProLiant ML310 G5 Server - Manual (Page 28)

Setup 28
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.
• Manual installation—Insert the operating system CD into the CD-ROM drive and reboot the server.
This process may require you to obtain additional drivers from the HP website
( http://www.hp.com/support ).
Follow the on-screen instructions to begin the installation process.
For information on using these installation paths, refer to the SmartStart installation poster in the HP
ProLiant Essentials Foundation Pack, included with the server.
For embedded SATA RAID configuration, the administrator must create a driver diskette and perform a
manual OS installation.
To install the embedded SATA RAID driver during OS installation, see "Installing an operating system
(Embedded SATA RAID) (on page 51 )."
