2 Preparing your HP Server tc2110 for
your NOS installation
Section 1. Hardware Setup
Prepare your HP server following the instructions in the HP Server tc2110
Operations and Maintenance Guide.
It is recommended that you do not install any third party adapter until you verify
that the HP equipment is functioning properly and you complete the NOS
installation.
Preparing your Hard Disk Drives
The HP Tower Server tc2110 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 you 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:
a. Perform a media check
b. Use a utility such as fdisk to erase all data and partitions from your hard
drive.
Section 2. Updating your Server BIOS
HP recommends that you update your server BIOS with the latest system BIOS
version to enjoy the most recent compatibility fixes.
Insert the HP Startup CD in a Windows PC and follow the on-screen instructions.
NOTE If the Windows PC does not auto-start the Startup menu, start it
by opening Startup.htm, found at the root level of the Startup
CD.
