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/info/ProLiantUEFI/docs).
To install an operating system on the server, use one of the following methods:
•
Intelligent Provisioning—For single-server deployment, updating, and provisioning capabilities.
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
d.
123).
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.
•
Insight Control server provisioning—For multi-server remote OS deployment, use Insight Control
server provisioning for an automated solution. For more information, see the Insight Control
documentation on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website
(http://www.hpe.com/info/insightcontrol/docs).
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 130)."
For more information on using these installation methods, see the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website
