Server Configuration
Using Compaq SmartStart
SmartStart is the intelligent way to configure the server and to load the system
software, thereby achieving a well-integrated server that ensures maximum
dependability and supportability. To use the SmartStart and Support Software
CD, refer to the Server Setup and Management pack. The first time the server
is configured, the SmartStart program automatically creates a system partition
and installs the Compaq System Configuration Utility and other Compaq
utilities in that partition.
NOTE:
Until you run the System Configuration program, an information message
indicating that you are running with a default configuration will occur each time you boot
the system. See “Powering Up Your Server” in Chapter 2 for more details.
To install the SmartStart and Support Software CD:
1.
With your server turned on, locate the CD-ROM drive.
2.
Push the button to release the tray. Pull the tray out.
