NOTE: Connecting the power cord illuminates the LEDs on the front of the bezel, the Systems Insight Display LED, and the LEDs on the NIC connector (rear panel). The iLO 2 NIC LED (rear panel) illuminates if the iLO 2 port is connected. 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 power button (1). The power LED (2) illuminates green. 1 2 gl0082 Figure 6 Power on button 2. When the server powers on, an installation progress screen is displayed. The installation process takes approximately 10 to 15 minutes to complete and the server will reboot twice. No user interaction is required.
4. Go to "Accessing the HP Storage Server Management console" on page 29 to set up server access.
Installing the server
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 2 (iLO 2) To connect directly to the storage server without using the network.
1. Log in to the HP ProLiant Storage Server with the default user name administrator and the password hpinvent. The HP ProLiant Data Protection Storage Server Management console and Rapid Startup Wizard will start automatically. 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.

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: If you are able to determine the IP address from your DHCP server, you can substitute the IP address for the serial number and hyphen (-). For example: 192.100.
2. Enter the serial number of the storage server followed by a hyphen (-) in the Computer box and click Connect. For example: D4059ABC3433-. NOTE: If you are able to determine the IP address from your DHCP server, you can substitute the IP address for the serial number and hyphen (-). For example: 192.100.0.1. 3. Log in to the HP ProLiant Storage Server with the default user name administrator and the password hpinvent.
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. These settings can be found on the iLO 2 Default Network Settings tag found on the front of the server. If iLO 2 is connected to a network running DNS and 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 2 port (1) located on the back of the storage server. 1 gl0083 Figure 8 iLO 2 connector port NOTE: This connection method is easiest when the connection is to a DHCP and DNS supported network. 2.
NOTE: To find the default iLO 2 log in settings, see the iLO 2 Default Network Settings card attached to your server. The default DNS, administrator name, and password needed to log in will be on this card. 4. If desired, you can 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.
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. NOTE: Ensure you are logged into the HP ProLiant Storage Server as a local or domain administrator.
Configuration Worksheet Contact person System administrator for the storage server. The contact and location will be provided to any SNMP management computer that requests them. 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.
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 ML350 G5 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.
