Chapter 2
Overview of Server Installation
The following instructions are provided as an overview for first-time
installation of your ProLiant ML330. If you have any problems, contact your
Compaq authorized reseller.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment:
■ Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding plug is an
important safety feature.
■ Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet that is
easily accessible at all times.
■ Disconnect power from the server by unplugging the power cord from
either the electrical outlet or the server.
■ 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.
CAUTION: Electrostatic discharge can damage electronic components. Be sure
you are properly grounded (earthed) before beginning any installation procedure.
See Appendix B, “Electrostatic Discharge,” for more information.
2-2 Compaq ProLiant ML330 Setup and Installation Guide
Selecting a Site
Make sure that the installation area you select has the following features:
■ Sturdy, level installation site that includes dedicated and properly
grounded circuits, air conditioning, and static electricity protection
■ 7.6-cm (3-in) clearance on all sides of server for proper ventilation
■ Separate electrical circuit for the server
CAUTION: Protect the server from power fluctuations and temporary
interruptions with a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS). This device
protects the hardware from damage caused by power surges and voltage spikes
and keeps the system in operation during a power failure.
Unpacking the Server
Unpack the server, keyboard, and cables according to the instructions and
illustrations printed on the Quick Start Poster.
Locating Materials
Locate the following materials that were shipped with your ProLiant ML330:
■ Keyboard
■ Mouse
■ Power cord
■ Documentation label inside the server (most of the option installation
and setup instructions are located on the label, which is attached to the
inside of the access panel). See Chapter 3, “Hardware Options
Installation” for instructions on removing the access panel.
■ Documentation and software packs inside the shipping box
In addition to these supplied items, you may need:
■ Torx T-15 screwdriver
■ Phillips screwdriver
■ Options or peripherals, such as expansion boards, monitors, uninterruptible
power supply (UPS), memory, or drives
■ Application software
Overview of Server Installation 2-3
Connecting the Power Cord and
Peripheral Devices
After all internal hardware options have been installed in the server, connect
the power cord and peripheral devices to the connectors located on the rear
panel of the server as indicated in Figure 2-1 and Table 2-1. See Chapter 3,
“Hardware Options Installation,” or see the options kits for detailed
instructions.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock or fire, do not plug
telecommunications/telephone connectors into the network interface
controller (NIC) receptacle.

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 factory-installed operating system,
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
.
CAUTION: Use the SmartStart and Support Software CD as recovery software
only. Starting the server from the SmartStart and Support Software CD
reconfigures the system and causes all data on the server to be lost.
To install your server:
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment
■ Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding plug is an
important safety feature.
■ Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet that is
easily accessible at all times.
■ Disconnect power from the server by unplugging the power cord from
either the electrical outlet or the server.
■ 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.
Overview of Server Installation 2-5
1. After the cables have been connected to the server, you are ready to
power up the ProLiant ML330. To power up your server:

Figure 2-2. Powering up the server
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 system
configuration. Refer to SmartStart and Support Software CD for further
information on backing up your system configuration.
5. Install any application software.
If you need to install additional options not preinstalled on your server, follow
the steps in Chapter 3.
2-6 Compaq ProLiant ML330 Setup and Installation Guide
Operating System Purchased Separately
If you purchased your operating system (OS) separately, you must 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.
Follow this sequence when installing your operating system for the first time:
CAUTION: Use the SmartStart and Support Software CD as recovery software
only. Starting the server from the SmartStart and Support Software CD
reconfigures the system and causes all data on the server to be lost.
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. Review all guidelines listed from the beginning of this chapter through
Step 1 of the “Preconfigured Operating System” section.
2. Run the BIOS Setup Utility by pressing F10
F10F10
F10 (when prompted) to select
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.”
3. 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.”
4. Install Compaq Insight Manager to manage the server. For Compaq
Management CD initialization procedures, refer to the Server Setup and
Management pack shipped with your server.
5. Register your server. For server registration information, refer to the
Server Setup and Management pack shipped with your server or register
your Compaq server online at
http://www.compaq.com/register. Send us your
name, server serial number, and operating system (OS) information.
You may also use your SmartStart Server Profile Diskette to register
after configuring your server with SmartStart. Simply follow the
instructions on our website and insert the SmartStart Server Profile
Diskette when prompted.
Overview of Server Installation 2-7
Configuring the Server
The BIOS Setup Utility can be used to configure the server and options. To
invoke the setup utility, press the F10
F10F10
F10 key when prompted during the startup
process.
The SmartStart and Support Software CD contains the ROMPaq and updated
drivers, and assists with the operating system installation. To use the
SmartStart and Support Software CD:
1. Locate the SmartStart and Support Software CD in the Server Setup and
Management pack.
2. With your server powered up, press the CD-ROM drive eject button.
3. Insert the SmartStart and Support Software CD in the CD-ROM drive
with the labeled side up. Handle the CD by its edges, not by the flat
surfaces of the disc.
Figure 2-3. Inserting the CD
4. When the busy indicator turns green, the SmartStart sequence begins.
Refer to the SmartStart and Support Software CD for more information.
Chapter 3
