Setting Up The Base Environment; Enhanced Auto-Configuration Process - HP DL760 - ProLiant - 1 GB RAM User Manual

Configuring the Server

Setting Up the Base Environment

The ProLiant DL760 G2 comes equipped with updateable, "intelligent" ROM-based
configuration utilities that display and modify the system configuration settings of the
server. When the server is powered up for the first time, the server will automatically
run an enhanced auto-configuration process, or you may manually configure the
server using new ROM-based enhancements described in the following sections.

Enhanced Auto-Configuration Process

During the power-up sequence the first time that the server is booted, the system
ROM auto-configures the system without any user intervention. The following screen
is displayed. You can intervene in the auto configuration process by pressing the F9
key. By default, the server completes POST and configures the array with Option
ROM Configuration for Arrays (ORCA). The server will be set up for Microsoft
Windows 2000 and ready for either the SmartStart CD (assisted path) or the
operating system installation CD (manual path).
