For single-server local OS deployment, use an OS installation media (USB key or DVD). Press F11 at the boot
screen to select the boot device.
•
For single-server remote OS deployment, click Virtual Drives in the iLO remote console to mount images, drivers,
or files to a virtual folder.
If a storage driver is required to install the OS, use the virtual folder to store the driver.
For multiple server OS deployments in a cluster, use HPE Performance Cluster Manager.

Operational requirements
Site requirements
The server must be located in a computer room or server room. The room must:
•
Be only accessible to authorized technicians trained the room restriction reasons and precautions.
•
Be within an area that is ideally locked or at minimum not accessible to unauthorized personnel.
Space and airflow requirements
To allow for servicing and adequate airflow, observe the following space and airflow requirements when deciding where to
install a rack:
•
Leave a minimum clearance of 63.5 cm (25 in) in front of the rack.
•
Leave a minimum clearance of 76.2 cm (30 in) behind the rack.
•
Leave a minimum clearance of 121.9 cm (48 in) from the back of the rack to the back of another rack or row of racks.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise servers draw in cool air through the front door and expel warm air through the rear door.
Therefore, the front and rear rack doors must be adequately ventilated to allow ambient room air to enter the cabinet, and the
rear door must be adequately ventilated to allow the warm air to escape from the cabinet.
CAUTION: To prevent improper cooling and damage to the equipment, do not block the ventilation openings.
When vertical space in the rack is not filled by a server or rack component, the gaps between the components cause changes in
airflow through the rack and across the servers. Cover all gaps with blanking panels to maintain proper airflow.
CAUTION: Always use blanking panels to fill empty vertical spaces in the rack. This arrangement ensures proper airflow.
Using a rack without blanking panels results in improper cooling that can lead to thermal damage.
