Installation Sequence
CAUTION: If your server has a factory-installed operating system, configure it
using the instructions in the following section. Otherwise, follow the instructions
in the "Operating System Purchased Separately" section later in this chapter.
Preconfigured Operating System
If you ordered your server with the operating system factory installed,
everything required to install your operating system is already on the server.
Refer to the steps provided in the Compaq Factory-Installed Operating System
Software User Guide.
1. After the cables have been connected to the server, you are ready to
power up the ProLiant ML350. Power up your server by opening the
drive bay door and pressing the center of the power switch on the front
of the server.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment
I Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding plug is an
important safety feature.
I Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet that is
easily accessible at all times.
I Disconnect power from the server by unplugging the power cord from
either the electrical outlet or the server.
I Do not place anything on power cords or cables. Arrange them so that no
one may accidentally step on or trip over them. Do not pull on a cord or
cable. When unplugging from the electrical outlet, grasp the cord by the
plug.
2. Follow the screen instructions to complete the factory-installed
operating system process.
3. Refer to Chapter 5, "Server Configuration and Utilities," and the
Compaq Management CD for information about installing the Compaq
Management Agents for your operating system.
4. After verifying your server configuration, back up your server.
5. Install any application software.
This completes the installation. If you need to install additional options not
pre-installed on your server, follow the steps in Chapter 3. Otherwise, you may
skip the remainder of this chapter.
CAUTION: Use the SmartStart and Support Software CD as recovery software
only. Booting the server from the SmartStart and Support Software CD will
reconfigure the system and will cause all data on the server to be lost.

Operating System Purchased Separately
If you purchased your operating system separately, you will need to install it
using the SmartStart and Support Software CD. Refer to the Server Setup and
Management pack for instructions on using SmartStart. The first time the
server is configured, the SmartStart program automatically creates a necessary
partition on your hard drive. This partition cannot be used for any other
purpose and is not a traditional system partition.
The following sequence should be performed when installing your server for
the first time:
IMPORTANT: To reduce the risk of damage to your server, complete the installation
process by following the detailed procedures provided later in this chapter and in other
sections of the setup and installation guide.
1. Select a site and unpack the server, keyboard, and mouse (monitor not
supplied).
2. Install any PCI and ISA expansion boards. See Chapter 3, "Hardware
Options Installation." See the options kits for detailed instructions.
3. Install other options: additional memory, hard drives, and external
storage devices. See Chapter 3, "Hardware Options Installation." See the
options kits for detailed instructions. You will need to run the BIOS
Setup utility to change the boot device.
4. Connect cables: keyboard, mouse, monitor, network, and power.
5. Set switches: system board switches, Server Feature Board switches
and SCSI ID settings, if changes are required. See Chapter 3, "Hardware
Options Installation."
6. After the cables have been connected to the server, you are ready to
power up the ProLiant ML350. Power up your server by opening the
drive bay door and pressing the center of the power switch on the front
of the server.
7. Run the BIOS Setup utility by pressing F10 (when prompted) to verify
the type of operating system and set the date and time. For more
information on the BIOS Setup utility, see Chapter 5, "Server
Configuration and Utilities."
8. Install the SmartStart and Support Software CD. For SmartStart and
Support Software CD initialization procedures, refer to the Server Setup
and Management pack shipped with your server or see Chapter 5,
"Server Configuration and Utilities."
