Installing The Operating System - HP ProLiant DL60 Gen9 User Manual

Loop the end of the hook-and-loop strap through the buckle.
b.
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. Attempting to run an
unsupported operating system can cause serious and unpredictable results. For the latest information on
operating system support, see the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website
(http://www.hpe.com/info/supportos).
Failure to observe UEFI requirements for ProLiant Gen9 servers can result in errors installing the
operating system, failure to recognize boot media, and other boot failures. For more information on these
requirements, see the HPE UEFI Requirements on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website
(http://www.hpe.com/support/Gen9UEFI).
To install an operating system on the server, use one of the following methods:
•
Intelligent Provisioning—For single-server deployment, updating, and provisioning capabilities.
