Preconfigured Operating System

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment:
•
Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding plug is an
important safety feature.
•
Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet that is easily
accessible at all times.
•
Disconnect power from the server by unplugging the power cord from
either the electrical outlet or the server.
•
Do not place anything on power cords or cables. Arrange them so that no
one can accidentally step on or trip over them. Do not pull on a cord or
cable. When unplugging the cord from the electrical outlet, grasp the cord
by the plug.
If the server was ordered with the operating system factory-installed, everything required to
install the operating system is already on the server. Refer to the steps provided in the HP
Factory-Installed Operating System Software User Guide for more information on using the
operating system.
To complete the installation process with a pre-configured operating system:
1. Power up the server. Refer to "Powering Up the Server" earlier in this chapter.
2. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the factory-installed operating system
initialization process. After initialization is complete, the server will automatically reboot.
3. After the server configuration is complete, back up the server.
4. Install any application software.
5. Register the server. Refer to "Registering the Server" later in this chapter.
