Server setup

HP ProLiant DL585 Server User Guide 3-27

Powering up and configuring the server

To power up the server, press the Power on/Standby button.

While the server boots, RBSU and the ORCA utility are automatically configured to

prepare the server for operating system installation. To configure these utilities

manually:

• Press the F8 key when prompted during POST to configure the array controller

using ORCA. The array controller defaults to RAID 0 with one drive installed

and RAID 1 with more than one drive installed.

• Press the F9 key when prompted during POST to change the server settings, such

as the settings for language and operating system, using RBSU. The system is set

up by default for the English language and a Microsoft® Windows® Server 2003

installation.

For more information about the automatic configuration, refer to the HP ROM-Based

Setup Utility User Guide located on the Documentation CD.

Installing the operating system

To operate properly, the server must have a supported operating system. For the latest

information on supported operating systems, refer to the HP website at

http://hp.com/go/supportos.

Two methods are available to install an operating system on the server:

• SmartStart assisted installation—Insert the SmartStart CD into the CD-ROM

drive, and reboot the server.
