HP ProLiant Gen8 Server with HP iLO Management Engine Setup Guide

5 Booting for the first time
1. Power on the system
When you first power on a ProLiant Gen8 server, the server displays a list of booting subsystems
and self tests. After the initial POST, the server displays the HP ProLiant initialization screen.
The checked icons at the bottom right represent each option that is present or installed on the
server:

NOTE: When using DHCP, the iLO 4 IP address appears at bottom left.
2. Start Intelligent Provisioning (F10)
Depending on the options installed on your HP ProLiant server, the available function keys
display at the bottom of the screen. Some function keys only display after the corresponding
component is initialized. These function keys might include the following:
• F5 — Runs the HP Array Configuration Utility (ACU)
• F8 — Runs the Option ROM Configuration for Arrays Utility
• F9 — Opens the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU)
• F10 — Starts Intelligent Provisioning
• F11 — Opens the boot menu, for overriding the default boot options
• F12 — Boots from the network
If you do not choose a function key before the server completes initial power on procedures,
a short menu of available function keys appears briefly. If you still do not choose a function
key, the server will try to boot from the boot devices configured in the RBSU.
Press F10 to start Intelligent Provisioning. Wait while Intelligent Provisioning loads. The Intelligent
Provisioning preferences screen appears.
