Completing system configuration
After the storage server is physically set up and the basic configuration is established, additional setup
tasks must be completed. Depending on the deployment scenario of the storage server, these steps can
vary. These additional steps can include:
•
Running Microsoft Windows Update—HP highly recommends that you run Microsoft Windows
updates to identify, review, and install the latest, applicable, critical security updates on the storage
server. For recommendations, instructions, and documentation to help manage the software
update, hotfix, and security patches process on the storage server, see Microsoft Software Updates
on HP ProLiant Storage Servers at http://h18006.www1.hp.com/storage/storageservers.html.
