Initial Steps
Install Host Bus Adapter (HBA) in the Server
Install the HBA in an open slot in the server. Connect the appropriate fibre cables to the HBA
and interconnect devices. Review the install documentation that came with the HBA or the Quick

Setup for RBSU Servers

options available to upgrade the BIOS; you can download the Firmware Maintenance CD from
www.hp.com, or you can download individual components for your specific server.
2. Set the boot order:
a. While the system is booting, Press F9 to start the ROM Setup Utility.
b. Choose Boot Controller Order.
c. Select the primary HBA and move it to Controller Order 1.
d. Exit the utility.
Setup for Servers without RBSU
If your server does not have RBSU, perform the following steps:
1. Download and install the latest system ROM from the website: http://www.hp.com.
2. Download SOFTPAQ SP18002 from ftp://ftp.compaq.com/pub/softpaq/sp18001-18500/.
3. Run the SOFTPAQ program to create an upgrade diskette.
4. Boot from the ProLiant Smart Start CD-ROM and run the program to clear the configuration.
5. Reboot from the new upgrade diskette. The ORD.EXE program should start automatically.
6. Set the Primary HBA to Position 1.
7. Reboot the server.
