Installing and Booting the Operating System
If you purchased your server blade without an OS installed, you need to install it onto your BL60p server
blade. There are two ways to install your OS; using a USB DVD/CD, or using HP-UX Ignite. Use this
procedure to install the OS to your server blade using an external USB DVD/CD drive, or HP-UX Ignite.
Installing the OS onto the Server Blade
These are generalized operating system (OS) installation procedures. For more specific details regarding OS
installation, refer to your OS documentation, or refer to Appendix B, “Operating System Boot and Shutdown,”
on page 103.
There are two ways to install the OS onto your server blade:
• Using an external USB DVD/CD
• Using HP-UX Ignite
Connecting an External USB DVD/CD Device to the Server Blade
Before you can install the OS from a DVD/CD disk, you must connect an external USB DVD/CD device. To
install the OS onto the server blade from a USB DVD/CD, do the following:
Step 1. Connect the Integrity local I/O cable to the front of the server blade (1).

Step 2. Connect the USB DVD/CD USB cable to the USB-01 port on the local I/O cable (2). Refer to
Figure D-7 for the correct port on the local I/O cable.
IMPORTANT Make sure to use the USB-01 port on the local I/O cable when connecting an external
USB DVD/CD device for an OS install. If you use the lower connector (USB-00), the
OS will not load properly. Refer to Figure D-7 for the correct port.
