Preparing the Server for NOS Installation
NOTE: It is recommended that you do not install any third party adapter until you verify that
the server is functioning properly and you complete the NOS installation.

Prepare the server following the instructions in the HP ProLiant ML150 Server
Installation Sheet.
The HP ProLiant ML150 server comes with new hard disk drive(s) that do not
need specific setup. If you install additional and USED hard disk drives in your
new server:
— Note that most NOS installations remove all data from the hard disk they are
installed on. If you wish to use your additional hard disk drives to access
existing data in your new server, HP recommends that you install and
configure this (these) hard disk drive(s) AFTER completing the NOS
installation.
— If you wish to recycle used hard disk drives, use a utility such as FDISK to
erase all data and partitions from your hard drive.
