operating system installation.
To configure these utilities manually:
• Press the F8 key when prompted during the array controller initialization to configure the array
controller using ORCA.
• Press the F9 key when prompted during the boot process to change the server settings using RBSU.
The system is set up by default for the English language.
For more information on 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 (http://www.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.
