IMPORTANT: Do not use ORCA to configure the Smart Array Cluster Storage system at
this time. When directed, use ACU to configure the system.
While the server boots, the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) and the ORCA
utility are automatically configured to prepare the server for the operating system
installation.
— To manually configure these utilities, go to step 3.
— To use the automatically configured settings, go to step 5.
For more information about automatic configuration, refer to the ROM-Based
Setup Utility User Guide located with the server documentation.

Windows 2000 installation. Select Linux as the operating system.

reboot the server.
