Installation Sequence
CAUTION: If your server has a factory-installed operating system, configure it
using the instructions in the following section. Otherwise, follow the instructions
in the “Operating System Purchased Separately” section later in this chapter.
Preconfigured Operating System
If you ordered your server with the factory-installed operating system,
everything required to install your operating system is already on the server.
Refer to the steps provided in the Compaq Factory-Installed Operating System
Software User Guide for more information on using your operating system.
1. Select a site and unpack the server, keyboard, and mouse. See
“Preinstallation Procedures” earlier in this chapter.
2. Connect the cables: keyboard, mouse, monitor, network, and power. See
“Identifying the Rear Panel Connectors” earlier in this chapter.
3. Locate the key and unlock the front bezel if necessary.
NOTE: A key hook is located inside the front bezel above the keylock latch. For your
convenience, you may use the key hook to store the key when it is not needed.
4. Power up the server by opening the front bezel and pressing the power
button on the front of the server.
