1 Setup overview
Your HP ProLiant storage server comes pre-installed with the Windows®
Storage Server™ 2003 R2 operating system. Windows Storage Server
2003 R2 extends the Windows Storage Server 2003 operating system,
providing a more efficient way to manage and control access to local
and remote resources. In addition, Windows Storage Server 2003 R2
provides a scalable, security-enhanced Web platform for simplified branch
server management, improved identity and access management, and more
efficient storage management.
Depending on the configuration you have chosen, your storage server
may contain additional software providing solutions for specificbusiness
needs. Forexample,yourservermaybeoptimizedtobeaFilePrint
Appliance (FPA).
Planning for installation
Before you install your HP ProLiant storage server, you need to make a
few up-front decisions.
Determining a network access method
Before beginning setup and startup procedures, you should decide upon
an access method to connect to the storage server. The type of network
access you select is determined by whether or not the network has a
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) ser ver, as shown in Network
Access methods. The following figure shows the types of network access
methods that are available and provides more information about each one.

Planning a network configuration
You use the Rapid Star tup Wizard to configure your storage server.
This wizard is displayed automatically when you first start your system,
immediately after you are prompted to install system updates. Before you
run the Rapid Startup Wizard, it is helpful to gather together the network
configuration information you need, including:
• User name and administrator password (the system provides you
with defaults you need to change)
• E-mail addresses to set up system alerts
• SNMP settings
• Local area network (LAN) configuration settings
To help you gather this information, see "Configuring the server on the
network"onpage39.
Configuration checklist
Use the following checklist to make sure you have c ompleted all
configuration tasks for your HP ProLiant storage server. The steps for each
task are explained in more detail in subsequent chapters of this guide.

the iLO interface. iLO connectivity is
only supported on the following servers:
ML310 G3, DL380 G4, and DL585.
IMPORTANT:
An IP address can be substituted for a storage server’s serial number
when using either remote browser or remote desktop methods to access
the HP Storage Server Management console.
Using the Direct attach method
You can access the HP Storage Server Management console using a
monitor, mouse, and keyboard directly at tached to the storage server.
HPProLiantDL380G4StorageServerinstallationguide

To connect the storage server to a network using the direct attach method
1. Log in to the HP ProLiant Storage Server Management console with the
default user name administrator a n d the password hpinvent.
NOTE:
You can change the administrator name and password
when you configure the server using the "Rapid Startup
Wizard" on page 42.
2. To complete network configuration using the Rapid Startup Wizard,
see "Configuring the server on the network"onpage39.
Using the Remote browser method
The storage server ships with DHCP enabled on the network port. If the
sever is placed on a DHC P-enabled network and the serial number of
the device is known, the server can be accessed through a client running
Internet Explorer 5.5 (or later) on that network, using the TCP/IP 3202 port.
IMPORTANT:
Before you begin this procedure, ensure that you have the following:
• Windows-based PC loaded with Internet Explorer 5.5 (or later) on
the same local network as the storage server
• DHCP-enabled network
• Serial number or IP address of the storage server
To connect the server to a network using the remote browser method, you
must first ensure that the client is configuredtodownloadsignedActiveX
controls.
To enable ActiveX controls
1. On the remote client machine, open the Internet Explorer web browser
and select Tools>InternetOptions>Security.

4. To complete network configuration using the Rapid Startup Wizard,
see "Configuring the server on the network"onpage39.
IMPORTANT:
If you are using the remote browser method to access the HP Storage
Server Management console and Rapid Startup Wizard, always close
the remote session before closing your Internet browser. Closing the
Internet browser does not close the remote session. Failure to close your
remote session impacts the limited number of remote sessions allowed on
the storage server at any given time.

4. To complete net work configuration using the Rapid Startup Wizard,
see "Configuring the server on the network"onpage39.
Using the Integrated Lights-Out method
The HP iLO management processor provides multiple ways to configure,
update, operate, and manage servers remotely. The HP ProLiant storage
server comes preconfigured with iLO default factory settings, including
a default user ac count and password. If iLO is connected to a network
running D NS or DHCP, you can use it immediately without changing any
settings.

This connection method is e asiest when the connection is
to a DHCP-supported network.
2. If not using dynamic DHCP (IP addressing), use the iLO RBSU to input
a static IP address.
3. Log in to iLO from a supported browser or command line.
