Completing the Installation of the

Factory-Installed Operating System

This section provides instructions for completing the installation of the

factory-installed operating system.

Powering Up the Server

IMPORTANT: Before powering up the server and configuring the operating system

software, connect the server hardware as described in the Server Setup and Installation

Guide. Do not install additional hardware devices until after the software installation is

complete.

IMPORTANT: Ensure that the Network Interface Controllers (NICs) of both server nodes

are connected identically. For example, the embedded NICs can be connected to each

other using the short cable provided. Any additional NICs of both server nodes must be

connected to the same networks.

Power up the server and carefully follow the online prompts, making keyboard

or mouse entries only when prompted by the system. Several status screens

describing the process that is occurring will display during the software

installation.

CAUTION: The server requires a reboot at the end of the installation. Do not

power down the server at any time during the installation process. Any power

interruption during the installation process could prevent proper completion of

the installation and may prevent the operating system from restarting.

Digital Signature is Not Found as Compaq drivers are about to be installed.
