QuickSpecs

7. Install Version 7.50A (or later) of the ProLiant Support Pack (PSP) for Microsoft Windows Server

2003 R2, which is available at

http://h18023.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/locate/3376.html. The PSP contains

numerous files. For the PSP to be installed properly, all files must be present in the same directory

as the SETUP.EXE program.

a. Primary installation method

i. Run the SETUP.EXE program included with the PSP. By default, all software components

are selected forinstallation. In most circumstances, this default selection should not be

altered.

ii. Click Install to proceed with the installation. Although all software components are selected

for installation by default, only those required by the server will install. After the installation

is complete, the utility will display successfully installed components, non-applicable

components, and any component installation failures.

b. Command prompt installation

i. Use the SETUPC.EXE to install the PSP from a command line prompt without user

interaction. This utility is designed as a tool that can be scripted. As with the SETUP.EXE

program, all components appropriate for the target server will be installed.

ii. For additional usage information, refer to the BPXXXXXX.TXT file included with the

downloaded files and the ProLiant Support Pack and Deployment Utilities User Guide

posted on the download Web page for the PSP.

Unattended install

For detailed procedures on unattended installs, refer to Microsoft documentation. When using an

UNATTEND.TXT file, follow these additional procedures.

1. Add the following line in the unattend section if the UNATTEND.TXT file has the OEMPreinstall flag

set.

[UNATTEND]

DisableVirtualOemDevices=Yes

2. Ensure that any special hardware-specific drivers appropriate for your ProLiant server are

available in the specified OEMFilesPath. The drivers for the supported devices may not be

included on the base media.

NOTE

These changes are only necessary when using an

UNATTEND.TXT file with the OEMPreinstall flag set. Failure to

set this flag could cause installs to abort with the following

message: “File [filename] could not be loaded. Error code is

18. Setup cannot continue.”

Part 2: Install Windows Server 2003 R2 CD-2 (optional)

Once the base operating system has been installed on the server, the administrator will be asked to

insert CD-2 in to the CD-ROM drive, upon a reboot of the server. This action prompts the operating

system to display a list of R2 specific components that may be installed on the server. To install the

components mentioned in the “Introduction to Windows Server 2003 R2” section of this paper, the

administrator must choose to install the selected components.
