To use the Startup CD-ROM on a Windows PC, you must have an HTML browser tool (like Microsoft
Internet Explorer 4.x, or Netscape Navigator version 4.x or greater) to view the HTML format.
· DOS Boot method - This method allows you to boot the HP Startup CD-ROM as a bootable CD-ROM
and launch HP Diagtools Utility directly from the CD-ROM in DOS.
NOTE
The NetWare NOS installation contains a known software error (not product-specific) that
does not allow you to boot from CD-ROM. To work around this problem, boot from a
DOS diskette and create a bootable DOS partition on the drive.
Contents of the HP Startup CD-ROM
The HP Startup CD-ROM contains the following drivers and utilities:
· NOS Drivers (IDE, SCSI, NIC, Video) for all supported NOSs on the HP Server tc2110 (IDE and SCSI
models).
· Diagtools Utility
· BIOS Flash Utility
NOS Installation
The instructions for manually installing your specific network operating system (NOS) and the respective
NOS drivers are provided in the HP Server tc2110 NOS Installation Guide. The HP Server tc2110 NOS
Installation Guide will help you when creating and copying the appropriate drivers (NOS, IDE, SCSI, NIC,
and Video) onto the required diskettes. In some cases you will use the diskettes to load the appropriate drivers
onto the Server, or load the drivers directly from the HP Startup CD-ROM onto the Server. Refer to the
Welcome menu on the HP Startup CD-ROM.
Diagtools
This utility provides an easy-to-use hardware diagnostic for Server verification, burn-in, and rapid
troubleshooting. It is launched from the CD-ROM when the HP Startup CD-ROM is used to boot the server
in DOS.
NOTE
HP recommends using the HP Diagtools Utility to verify all Server functions are
operating correctly, after completing all the configuration topics. The HP Diagtools Utility
also generates a text file containing the hardware detected and the Diagtools test results.
This text file, called a support ticket, should be saved to a diskette and used for future
reference, especially by your support provider.
The HP Diagtools Utility will start automatically when the HP Startup CD-ROM is booted
in the HP Server in DOS.
BIOS Setup Utility
Use the BIOS Setup Utility to configure items in the BIOS using the following menus:
· Main
· Advanced
· Security
· Boot
· Power
· Exit
