Server 2008 R2 or Windows Server 2008 SP2 (except BL8x0c i2) is installed on the system. Reinstall
image DVDs for currently shipping operating systems are also included in the media kits in
order to upgrade or downgrade the operating system as needed.
NOTE:
For Integrity servers that come with a Windows Server operating system preloaded or
when using the Reinstall Image DVD, you are prompted to update the Support Pack from the
Smart Setup CD to get the latest versions of the Smart Components and to use the Smart Update
DVD to install the latest MS QFEs. HP recommends that you update the Support Pack and install
the latest QFEs.

Windows Solution Documentation

The documentation for Microsoft Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2 on HP

is delivered on the Smart Setup CD.
This section describes the documentation organization on Business Support Center, describes
recommended reading paths, and lists the documents available on the Smart Setup CD.
