boot sequence.
3. Repeat this procedure for every HP ProLiant DL585 G2 node in the hardware configuration.
Configuring Smart Arrays
On hardware models, such as the HP ProLiant DL585 G2 with smart array cards, you must add
the 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.
Specific instructions are outside the scope of the HP XC documentation. See the documentation
that came with the HP ProLiant server for more information.

Setup Procedure
Perform the following procedure on each HP Integrity rx2660 server:
1. Use the instructions in the accompanying hardware documentation to connect a monitor,
mouse, and keyboard to the node.
