HP Integrated VMware ESXi 4.0 and Updates Getting Started Guide

2. Burn the installation ISO to a CD, or move the ISO image to a location
accessible using the virtual media capabilities of HP iLO 2 or iLO 3.
NOTE: The CD is bootable. Boot the server and install the HP
VMware ESXi product either to the hard drive or to flash media
(USB flash drive or SD card). You must install the flash media into
the internal port on the server.
3. Set up the server hardware, and if wanted, connect the server to the network.
4. If you install to flash media (USB flash drive or SD card), install the flash media
into the internal port on the server.
For instructions on accessing the internal flash media (USB flash drive or SD card)
port, see the server documentation.
For hardware requirements, see the server documentation.
5. Access the server console in one of the following ways:
o Locally—Use a local keyboard and monitor.
o Remotely—Use the iLO 2 or iLO 3 Integrated Remote Console remotely from
a network client with a web browser.
Remote setup requires the HP iLO 2 or iLO 3 Advanced Pack, which is sold
separately for HP ProLiant ML and DL servers. The remote graphics capability
is included with BL servers.
IMPORTANT: After you boot up the server, you must press the
correct function key when prompted to enter setup mode to
configure boot order, configure hardware virtualization, and
configure iLO 2 and iLO 3 and the Smart Array controller.
Familiarize yourself with the following steps and prompts; each
prompt is available for only a few seconds during the boot
process.
If you are installing to the hard drive, proceed to step 8.

a. Configure the flash device to boot before the hard drive. By default, flash
media is configured to boot before the hard drive.
b. Boot the server, and then press F9 to enter ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU).
c. Scroll down to Standard Boot Order (IPL), and then press Enter.
