Using Windows Server 2003 OS Media (Provided by Microsoft) + HP Smart Setup
+ Smart Update Media
You can purchase the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 OS media from HP, or you can purchase
it separately from a Windows reseller. Your organization might already have a volume license
for Windows Server 2003. Regardless of how you obtain it, you will need the OS media, a valid
license key, and the HP Smart Setup and Smart Update discs to install Windows Server 2003 if
the OS is not factory-installed by HP.
In installation environments that include Microsoft-supplied OS media, HP provides Smart Setup
and Smart Update media. Smart Setup media automates the setup of boot controllers, drivers,
and disk partitions. The Smart Update media provides operating system updates from Microsoft.
After completing the installation, HP recommends connecting to Microsoft's website to obtain
the latest security updates.
Using HP Reinstallation Media
HP Integrity servers purchased with Windows Server 2008 also include the Windows Server
2003 Datacenter Edition Reinstallation DVD, which you can use to restore the server to its factory
condition if necessary. This media prepares the boot controllers, sets up the required disk
partitions, and installs the OS. No product key is required when you install Windows Server
2003 Datacenter Edition from the Reinstallation DVD.
