When multiple hook-and-loop straps are used in the same rack, stagger the strap location, so that
the straps are adjacent to each other when viewed from top to bottom. This positioning will enable
the rack rail to slide easily in and out of the rack.

Installing the operating system

This ProLiant server does not ship with provisioning media. Everything needed to manage and install the
system software and firmware is preloaded on the server.
To operate properly, the server must have a supported operating system installed. For the latest
information on operating system support, see the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website
(http://www.hpe.com/info/supportos). Attempting to run an unsupported operating system can cause
serious and unpredictable results.
To install an operating system on the server, use one of the following methods:
•
Intelligent Provisioning—iLO includes Intelligent Provisioning for embedded deployment, updating,
and provisioning capabilities. Intelligent Provisioning can configure the server and install an
operating system.
To install an operating system on the server with Intelligent Provisioning (local or remote):
Connect the Ethernet cable between the network connector on the server and a network jack.
a.
Press the Power On/Standby button.
b.
During server POST, press F10.
c.
Complete the initial Preferences and Registration portion of Intelligent Provisioning (on page 96).
d.
At the 1 Start screen, click Configure and Install.
e.
To finish the installation, follow the onscreen prompts. An Internet connection is required to
f.
update the firmware and systems software.
•
Remote deployment installation—To deploy an operating system remotely, use Insight Control
Server Provisioning for an automated solution.
For additional system software and firmware updates, download the Service Pack for ProLiant from the
Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (http://www.hpe.com/servers/spp/download). Software and firmware
must be updated before using the server for the first time, unless any installed software or components
require an older version.
For more information, see "Keeping the system current (on page 103)."
