3. Run the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) by pressing F9 when
prompted in the lower right corner of the screen. Use RBSU to verify
the type of operating system and set the date and time. For information
on using the RBSU to configure other server features, see Chapter 6,
“Server Configuration and Utilities.”
4. Install the operating system.
5. Install Compaq Insight Manager to manage the server. For Compaq
Management CD initialization procedures, refer to the Server Setup and
Management pack shipped with your server.
IMPORTANT: You must install and use Compaq Insight Manager to benefit from Compaq
Pre-Failure Warranties on processors, hard drives, and memory modules.
6. Install any application software needed.
7. Register your server. See “Registering your Server” later in this chapter.
Preconfigured Operating System
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment
■ Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding plug is an
important safety feature.
■ Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet that is
easily accessible at all times.
■ Disconnect power from the server by unplugging the power cord from
either the electrical outlet or the server.
■ Do not place anything on power cords or cables. Arrange them so that no
one can accidentally step on or trip over them. Do not pull on a cord or
cable. When unplugging the cord from the electrical outlet, grasp the cord
by the plug.
CAUTION: Use the SmartStart and Support Software CD as recovery software
only. Powering up the server from the SmartStart and Support Software CD
reconfigures the system and causes all data on the server to be lost.
