After the server has successfully powered up, begin the configuration process
with the ROM-Based Setup Utility. See Chapter 8 “Server Configuration and
Utilities.”
If the server does not power up successfully, or if it indicates a fault, see
Chapter 10, “Troubleshooting.”
Power Cords
Observe the following warnings when working with power cords.
WARNING: The system power in the ProLiant DL360 G2 server is not
completely shut off by the front panel Power On/Standby switch. The standby
position removes power from most of the electronics and the drives, but
portions of the power supply and some internal circuitry remain active.
To remove all power from the system disconnect the power cord from the
server. In systems with multiple power supplies all the power cords must be
disconnected to completely remove power from the system.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical 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.
■ Do not route the power cord where it can be walked on or pinched by
items placed against it. Pay particular attention to the plug, electrical
outlet, and the point where the cord extends from the server.
Installing an Operating System
To install an operating system on a new server, the ROM Based Setup Utility
(RBSU) is used.
To configure the server for the first time:
1. Power up the server and press the F9 key when prompted to enter RSBU
2. When prompted, select a user language.
3. Select the operating system to be installed on the server. A dialog box is
displayed indicating that default system configuration settings have been
made in accordance with those appropriate for the selected operating
system.
