50 HP ProLiant ML370 Generation 4 Server Reference and Troubleshooting Guide

Powering up and configuring the server

To power up the server, press the Power On/Standby button.
While the server boots, RBSU and the ORCA utility are automatically
configured to prepare the server for operating system installation.
To configure these utilities manually:
•
Press the F8 key when prompted during the array controller initialization to
configure the array controller using ORCA.
•
Press the F9 key when prompted during the boot process to change the server
settings using RBSU. The system is set up by default for the English
language.
For more information on the automatic configuration, refer to the HP ROM-
Based Setup Utility User Guide located on the Documentation CD.

Installing the operating system

To operate properly, the server must have a supported operating system. For the
latest information on supported operating systems, refer to the HP website
(http://www.hp.com/go/supportos).
Two methods are available to install an operating system on the server:
• Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding
plug is an important safety feature.
• Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet
that is easily accessible at all times.
• Unplug the power cord from the power supply to disconnect
power to the equipment.
• Do not route the power cord where it can be walked on or
pinched by items placed against it. Pay particular attention to
the plug, electrical outlet, and the point where the cord extends
from the server.
