While the server boots, RBSU and the ORCA utility are automatically
configured to prepare the server for operating system installation. To configure
these utilities manually:
Press the F8 key when prompted during the array controller initialization to
configure the array controller using ORCA.
Press the F9 key when prompted during the boot process to change the server
settings, such as the settings for language and operating system, using RBSU.
The system is set up by default for the English language and a Microsoft®
Windows® 2000 installation.
For more information on the automatic configuration, refer to the ROM-Based
Setup Utility User Guide located on the Documentation CD.

Installing the Operating System

To operate properly, the server must have a supported operating system. For the
latest information on supported operating systems, refer to the HP website
(http://www.hp.com/go/supportos).
Two methods are available to install an operating system on the server:
SmartStart assisted installation—Insert the SmartStart CD into the CD-ROM
drive and reboot the server.
Manual installation—Insert the operating system CD into the CD-ROM drive
and reboot the server. This process may require you to obtain additional
drivers from the HP website (http://www.hp.com/support).
Follow the on-screen instructions to begin the installation process.
For information on using these installation paths, refer to the SmartStart
installation poster in the HP ProLiant Essentials Foundation Pack, included with
the server.
