Replace Covers and Connect Cables

1.
Replace all covers:
A. If a side cover was removed, insert its lower channel onto the lip
at the bottom of the chassis. Press the top of the side cover
against the chassis, so that it snaps into place.
B. To replace the top cover, align both corners of its rear edge
against the metal tabs on the rear of the HP NetServer. Lower
the front of the top cover and pull it forward slightly to catch on
the rear of the chassis and to clear the front edge of the chassis.
Tighten both thumbscrews.
C. Align the front bezel against the front of the HP NetServer, and
press it firmly into place. Lock the front bezel with the key
provided.
2.
Connect the power cord and all other cables.
CAUTION
Replace ALL covers before operating the
HP NetServer, even for a short time.
Otherwise, overheating can damage
processors, boards, and mass storage
devices.

1. Turn on the HP NetServer and monitor, and insert the HP Navigator
CD-ROM into the drive. Turn the power off, wait 10 seconds, and turn
the power on again. If the system fails to boot, follow the instructions on
the screen.
NOTE
If you have installed an ISA non-Plug-and-Play
accessory board, you must reserve system
resources for it by using the Setup utility. Start the
Setup utility by pressing the F2 function key when
"Press <F2> to enter SETUP" appears on the boot
screen.
When the Setup utility starts, select "Configuration,"
and then select "ISA non-Plug-and-Play Devices."
Use the arrow keys to highlight a selection, press
ENTER to display its options, and use the +/- keys to
change values. When done, save changes and exit.
For more about reserving system resources, refer to
Information Assistant and to "Configuring ISA Non-
Plug-and-Play Board" in the HP NetServer LC 3
User Guide.
(If the system hangs before the Setup utility starts,
remove the ISA non-Plug-and Play board, run the
Setup utility to reserve system resources for it, and
reinstall the board.)
2. Run Configuration Assistant and Installation Assistant: Go to the
HP Navigator Main Menu. If you want to change the language, select
"Set Preferences" and the language. Select "Configuration and
Installation Assistant." Select "Express" from the next screen to begin

NOTE
To use the Console Redirection feature of Integrated Remote
Assistant to run server management utilities remotely, you
must create the utility partition. "Express" configuration mode
creates it automatically. If you use "Custom" configuration
mode, create the partition by selecting "Install/Update Utility
Partition" from the Custom Configuration menu within
