WARNING: This server is very heavy. To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the
equipment:
• Observe local occupational health and safety requirements and guidelines for manual
material handling.
• Get help to lift and stabilize the product during installation or removal, especially when the
product is not fastened to the rails. When the server weighs more than 22.5 kg (50 lb), at least
two people must lift the server into the rack together. A third person may be required to help
align the server if the server is installed higher than chest level.
• Use caution when installing the server in or removing the server from the rack; it is unstable
when not fastened to the rails.
1. Install the server and cable management arm into the rack. For more information, refer to the installation
instructions that ship with the 3-7U Quick Deploy Rail System (rack installation only).
2. Connect peripheral devices to the server ("Rear panel components" on page 9).
Powering up and configuring the server
To power up the server:
1. Connect each power cord to the server.
2. Connect each power cord to the power source.

The server exits standby mode and applies full power to the system. The system power LED changes from
amber to green.
While the server boots, ORCA utility and the RBSU are automatically configured to prepare the server for
operating system installation.
To configure these utilities manually:
• To configure the array controller using ORCA, press the F8 key when prompted during the array
controller initialization.
• To change the server settings using RBSU, press the F9 key when prompted during the boot process. The
system is set up by default for the English language.
For more information on the automatic configuration, see the HP ROM-Based Setup Utility User Guide
located on the Documentation CD.
Installing the operating system
This ProLiant server does not ship with provisioning media. All components needed to manage and install the
system software and firmware is preloaded on the server.
To operate properly, the server must have a supported operating system. For the latest information on
operating system support, see the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/supportos).
To install an operating system on the server, use one of the following methods:
• Intelligent Provisioning—The iLO Management Engine is a new feature on ProLiant servers that contains
Intelligent Provisioning for embedded deployment, updating, and provisioning capabilities. Intelligent
Provisioning can configure the server and install an operating system, eliminating the need for
SmartStart CDs and Smart Update Firmware DVDs.
