Installing the OS onto the Server Blade

Installing the OS from the External USB DVD/CD Device

Perform the following steps to install the OS from an external USB DVD/CD device.

Step 1. Insert the CD with the OS into the external USB DVD/CD drive.

Step 2. Use the EFI Boot Manager menu and boot to the drive that contains the CD with the OS.

Step 3. From the boot menu, select EFI Shell (Built In).

Step 4. At the EFI shell prompt, specify the device name (for example, fs1:) for the DVD/CD and enter the

EFI install command, as in the following example.

If the device is not automatically selected, select the device name for the DVD/CD and execute

install. For example, from the EFI shell prompt you see something similar to this:

Shell> fs1:

fs1:\> install

If you do not see the USB DVD/CD drive, use the EFI Map command to list all the device names

from the EFI shell prompt. The list of devices displays automatically, and the install process selects

the device for you. The Map command displays the following (this may not match completely:

Installing the OS Using HP-UX Ignite

To install the OS onto the server blade using HP-UX Ignite, see the following documentation:

NOTE Once the OS is loaded, make sure to save your non-volatile memory settings to preserve boot

entries in case of blade failure.
