Ordering Activation Keys
If you are purchasing your operating system from Compaq, you may want to
order the SmartStart Activation Keys (code) now so that you will have the
appropriate code to unlock operating system software on the Microsoft
Windows NT, NetWare, OS/2, UnixWare, or SCO OpenServer CDs. Refer to
the Server Setup and Management pack shipped with your server.
Installing Hardware Options
For complete installation instructions, refer to the installation documentation
that came with the option kit. For an illustration overview of installing many
Compaq option upgrades, refer to the Hardware Installation and Configuration
poster included in the shipping box, the Processor Board Hood Label located on
the inside of the Side Access Panel, or the Expansion Board Hood Label
located on the inside of the Top Access Panel.
The Compaq 2500’s new server chassis facilitates the installation of hardware
upgrades. Most hardware options are installed on the system board, on the
processor board, and in the drive bay area.
