On hardware models such as the HP ProLiant DL360 G4 and DL380 G4 with smart array cards, you must
add the disk or disks to the smart array before attempting to image the node.
To do so, watch the screen carefully during the power on self-test phase of the node, and press the F8 key
when prompted to configure the disks into the smart array.
