Connect peripheral devices to the server
IMPORTANT:
When using cable management arm components, be sure
to leave enough slack in each of the cables to prevent damage to the
cables when the server is extended from the rack.
Connect the peripheral devices to the server. The ports are labeled on
the rear of the server. For more information on ports and connectors,
see the server user guide in the HP ProLiant Gen8 Server Management
Information Library (http://www.hp.com/go/proliantgen8/docs).

Connect the power cord to the power supply
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment:
•
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 storage system.
A.
Connect the power cord to the power supply.
B.
Thread the power cord through the strain relief clip (if applicable).
For instructions on using the power cord strain relief clip, see the
instructions that ship with the clip.
C.
Connect the power cord to the AC power source.

C.
During the initial boot:
•
To modify the server configuration ROM default settings, press F9
when prompted from the start up sequence to enter the RBSU. By
default, RBSU runs in the English language.
•
If you do not need to modify the server configuration, proceed to
installing the system software. If you are installing VMware, press
F10
and go to step 6. If you are installing Citrix, install the operating
system using the installation media, and go to step 7.
NOTE:
If an HP Smart Array controller has been added or is embedded in
the system, the controller defaults to a RAID configuration based on the
size and number of drives installed. For more information on modifying
the controller default settings, see the documentation in the HP Smart
Storage Information Library (http://www.hp.com/go/smartstorage/docs).
For more information on automatic configuration, see the
HP ROM-
Based Setup Utility User Guide
in the HP RBSU Information Library
(http://www.hp.com/go/rbsu/docs).
