Cabling the server Connect the cables in the sequence shown in the figure below. 6 2 1 5 4 3 Figure 5 Cable connections 1 Keyboard 4 Network cable 2 Mouse 5 Monitor 3 iLO cable 6 Power cable NOTE: Connecting the power cord illuminates the green NIC LEDs. Connecting the power cord also restores the storage server to whatever previous powered state it was last in. This could result in the server powering up, the fans operating, and the power indicator coming on.
Powering on the server Power on the server after connecting the cables. 1. Power on server by pushing the I/O button (1). The power LED (2) illuminate. 1 2 HP ProLiant ML310 5060 Figure 6 Power on button 2.

4. During reboot, you see the screen below. The storage server performs the following actions: • Restore image. • Copy files. • Prepare system settings. • Boot Windows and finalize setup. Figure 8 Restore progress screen CAUTION: Do not interrupt the reboot sequence; it takes a considerable amount of time. By now you should have determined the access method for your storage server. For more information, see "Planning for installation" on page 15. 5.
3 Accessing the HP Storage Server Management console Before accessing the HP Storage Server Management console, verify that the storage server is completely installed in the rack, and that all cables and cords are connected. To access the HP Storage Server Management console, you can use these access methods: Direct attach Remote browser Remote desktop HP Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) To connect directly to the storage server without using the network.
To connect the storage server to a network using the direct attach method 1. Log in to the HP ProLiant Storage Server Management console with the default user name administrator and the password hpinvent. NOTE: You can change the administrator name and password when you configure the server using the "Rapid Startup Wizard" on page 40. 2. To complete network configuration using the Rapid Startup Wizard, see "Configuring the server on the network" on page 37.
Figure 9 Internet options screen 2. On the Security screen, select Internet or Local intranet web content zone, then click Custom Level. 3. Scroll down to locate the ActiveX Controls and plug-ins settings. 4. At Download signed ActiveX controls settings, select Enable to enable ActiveX or Prompt to launch a notice requiring approval before ActiveX is enabled. 5. Click OK to close the Security Settings dialog box. 6. If prompted Are you sure you want to change the security settings for this zone click YES.
7. On the Internet Options dialog box, click OK to finish. To connect the storage server to a network using the remote browser method 1. On the remote client machine open Internet Explorer and enter https:// and the serial number of the storage server followed by a hyphen (-), and then:3202. For example, https://D4059ABC3433-:3202 Press Enter. NOTE: You can substitute the IP address for the serial number, if you are connected through DHCP. 2. Click OK on the Security Alert prompt. 3.
2. Enter the serial number of the storage server in Computer box and click Connect. NOTE: You can substitute the IP address for the serial number, if you are connected through DHCP. 3. Log in to the HP ProLiant Storage Server Management console with the default user name administrator and the password hpinvent. NOTE: You can change the administrator name and password when you configure the server using the "Rapid Startup Wizard" on page 40. 4.
Using the Integrated Lights-Out 2 method The HP iLO 2 management processor provides multiple ways to configure, update, operate, and manage servers remotely. The HP ProLiant storage server comes preconfigured with iLO 2 default factory settings, including a default user account and password. If iLO 2 is connected to a network running DNS or DHCP, you can use it immediately without changing any settings.
To quickly setup iLO 2 using the default settings for iLO 2 Standard and iLO 2 Advanced features, follow the steps below 1. Ensure that a network cable is connected to the iLO port (1) located on the back of the storage server. 1 5049 Figure 10 iLO connector port NOTE: This connection method is easiest when the connection is to a DHCP-supported network. 2. If not using dynamic DHCP (IP addressing), use the iLO 2 RBSU to input a static IP address. 3.
4. Change the default user name and password on the administrator account to your predefined selections. 5. Set up your user accounts, if using the local accounts feature. 6. Activate advanced features by entering a license key. 7. Install the iLO 2 device drivers. 8. Access the HP Storage Server Management console using the Remote Console method to access Windows. NOTE: Once this Remote Console feature is enabled, the user can get access to the storage server’s login screen.
4 Configuring the server on the network Before you begin When first powering on the storage server you need to have some configuration data readily available to complete the Rapid Startup Wizard. Complete the Server configuration worksheet and use the data collected to initialize the storage server. Table 4 Server configuration worksheet Configuration Worksheet Administrative Identity User name Change system administrator’s user name, which is set by default to administrator.
Configuration Worksheet System location Any text string, such as a location or phone number. For example, Floor #3, Financial Services Bldg. Community name No. 1 The community name is used for network authentication when sending outgoing SNMP messages. Trap destination No. 1 The IP address of a management computer that will receive SNMP messages from the storage server using the above community name. Community name No. 2 Same as above. Trap destination No. 2 Same as above.
Configuration Worksheet DNS server A Domain Name System (DNS) server name is required to provide for domain name to IP address resolution. WINS server A Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) server name is required to determine the IP address associated with a particular network computer. Server Name Server name Assign a unique name to the storage server. This name identifies the storage server on the network.
Running the Rapid Startup Wizard The Rapid Startup Wizard is only displayed during the initial setup process. This wizard guides you through the configuration process.
5 Complete system configuration Additional configuration tasks The physical installation and basic configuration for the HP ProLiant storage server is complete. Additional settings and configuration tasks specific to the storage server role can be found in the HP ProLiant ML310 G3 Storage Server administration guide on the HP ProLiant Storage Server Documentation CD.
Complete system configuration
A Configuring storage server for Web access (optional) Setting up an Internet connection Before running Windows 2003 R2 operating system updates, you must set up an Internet connection for the storage server. There are two methods for configuring an Internet connection: • Internet Explorer to use automatic configuration • Internet Explorer to use a proxy server To configure Internet Explorer to use automatic configuration 1.
2. Under Proxy server, click the Use a proxy server for your LAN check box. Figure 13 Proxy server settings 3. In the Address box, type the IP address of the proxy server. 4. In the Port box, type the port number that is used by the proxy server for client connections (by default, 8080). 5. Click the Bypass proxy server for local addresses check box if you do not want the proxy server computer to be used when you connect to a computer on the local network (this may speed up performance). 6.
