Installing the Operating System

If you are installing the operating system using the SmartStart CD, configure it by
using the instructions in the following section.

Assisted SmartStart Operating System Installation

If you purchased the operating system separately, you need to configure the server
and install the operating system using the SmartStart CD.
NOTE: If you do not use the SmartStart CD, refer to the Array Controller Driver Installation kit
for the boot device drivers.
SmartStart is the intelligent way to configure the server and to load the system
software, thereby achieving a well-integrated server that ensures maximum
dependability and supportability.
To install the SmartStart CD:
1. With the server turned on, locate the CD-ROM drive.
2. Push the button to release the tray. Pull out the tray.
3. Place the SmartStart CD in the tray (label facing up), handling the CD from the
edges, not by the flat surfaces of the disc.
4. Reboot the server from the SmartStart CD.
5. Follow the screen prompts.
6. Install Insight Manager 7 when prompted by SmartStart.
When the CD-ROM busy LED is lit, the SmartStart installation sequence begins.
NOTE: Refer to the ProLiant Essentials Foundation Pack for instructions about using
SmartStart.
NOTE: To manage the system, refer to the Management CD provided in the ProLiant
Essentials Foundation Pack that was shipped with your server.
