WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or equipment damage, be
sure that the rack is adequately stabilized before sliding the server rails into
the rack rails.
CAUTION: Be sure to keep the server parallel to the floor when sliding the server
rails into the rack rails. Tilting the server up or down could result in damage to the
rails.

4. If you are configuring a Microsoft® or Linux operating system, connect the
Ethernet crossover cable between the servers. Use the same RJ-45 connector (1),
NIC 1, on each server.
5. Connect peripheral devices, such as the keyboard, mouse, and monitor. For
information on peripheral device connections, refer to “Component and LED
Identification” in Chapter 3.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or damage to the
equipment, do not plug telephone or telecommunications connectors into
RJ-45 connectors.
IMPORTANT: If the RILOE II board is installed in the server, be sure that you attach the video
cable to the video connector on the rear of the RILOE II board. The standard video connector
on the server rear panel is not used when the RILOE II board is installed. For more
information, refer to the HP Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition II User Guide on the
Documentation CD.
NOTE: If you are using a KVM switchbox, refer to the switchbox documentation for detailed
instructions.
6. Connect the power cords to the servers and storage system.
IMPORTANT: Do not power on the servers or the storage system until instructed to
power on.

7. Route the cables and secure to the cable management arm.
8. Connect the power cords to the AC power source.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment:
•
Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The ground plug is an
important safety feature.
•
Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electric outlet that is easily
accessible at all times.
•
Unplug the power cord from the power supply to disconnect power to the
equipment.
•
Do not route the power cord where it can be walked on or pinched by items
placed against it. Pay particular attention to the plug, electric outlet, and the
point where the cord extends from the server.

Powering On and Configuring the Packaged Cluster
1. Power on the storage system and wait for the controllers to initialize.
IMPORTANT: You must power on the MSA500 system before powering on the servers.
After powering on, wait until the storage system startup complete message displays. It
might take up to two minutes for the system to completely power up.
2. Power on one server.
IMPORTANT: Do not use the Option ROM Configuration for Arrays (ORCA) utility to
configure the MSA500 system. The Array Configuration Utility must be used.
IMPORTANT: If your system was previously configured, power on the second server.
The installation process is complete.
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 configure these utilities manually:
— Press the F8 key when prompted during the array controller initialization to
configure the array controller using ORCA. The array controller defaults to
RAID 0 with one drive installed and RAID 1 with more than one drive
installed.
— Press the F9 key when prompted during the boot process to change the
server settings, such as the settings for language and operating system, using
RBSU. The system is set up by default for the English language and a
Microsoft® Windows® 2000 installation.
For more information on the automatic configuration, refer to the HP ROM-
Based Setup Utility User Guide located on the Documentation CD.
