NOTE: The HP Startup CD-ROM is not bootable.

The detailed instructions relative to each specific step (location of drivers,

workarounds) are provided in the respective NOS chapters (Chapters 2 to 12). The

installation information for the HP utilities is provided in Chapter 13. For the detailed

information on using the HP utilities, please refer to Appendix A of this guide.

Preparing the Server for NOS Installation

NOTE: It is recommended that you do not install any third party adapter until you verify that

the server is functioning properly and you complete the NOS installation.

• • Prepare the server following the instructions in the HP ProLiant ML150 Server

Installation Sheet.

The HP ProLiant ML150 server comes with new hard disk drive(s) that do not need specific setup. If you install additional and USED hard disk drives in your new server:

— Note that most NOS installations remove all data from the hard disk they are

installed on. If you wish to use your additional hard disk drives to access existing data in your new server, HP recommends that you install and configure this (these) hard disk drive(s) AFTER completing the NOS installation.

— If you wish to recycle used hard disk drives, use a utility such as FDISK to

erase all data and partitions from your hard drive.

HP ProLiant ML150 Server NOS Installation and Software Guide 1-3

Before You Begin

• HP recommends that you update your server BIOS with the latest system BIOS version to enjoy the most recent compatibility fixes. Insert the HP Startup CD- ROM in a Windows PC and follow the on-screen instructions. For more information, refer to the HP ProLiant ML150 Server Operations and Maintenance Guide.

Section 6. Installing MSM

Please refer to “Installing MSM” in Chapter 13 for the detailed instructions on installing MSM from the Startup CD-ROM.

Section 7. Installing the ZCR Driver

If an optional ZCR card is installed in your server, an appropriate driver is required for the ZCR controller to operate properly. You can create the driver diskette from the HP Startup CD-ROM for easy installation.

Creating the Driver Diskette

1. Insert one blank, formatted 3.5” diskette into the flexible diskette drive of a PC running Microsoft Windows.

2. Insert the HP Startup CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive of the above PC and click HP ProLiant ML150 drivers on the Startup menu.

3. Select the proper driver to install.

4. Follow the on-screen instructions to create the driver diskette.

NOTE: If the PC does not auto-start the Startup menu, start it by opening startup.htm, found at the root level of the Startup CD-ROM.

Performing the Installation

1. Boot the server from the Windows 2000 CD-ROM.

2. You will see a message that reads, Setup is inspecting your hardware

configuration. Then the setup screen will be displayed.

3. Always press the F6 key when the system briefly shows the message of Press F6 if you need to install a third party SCSI or RAID controller at the bottom of

the display.

NOTE: Unfortunately, Windows 2000 setup only gives you a short time to press the F6 key. If you miss it, reboot the system and start from step 1 above.

Section 8. Troubleshooting

This section will help you resolve some of the most common installation problems associated with Windows 2000.

Tip #1. Windows 2000 Installation Halts about Three Minutes after Starting to Boot from CD-ROM

When installing Windows 2000 on any X86 system with more than one hard drive it is possible to experience the following error:

Setup has encountered an error and cannot continue. Contact technical support for assistance. The following status codes will assist them in diagnosing the problem. (0x4, 0x1, 0x0, 0x0)

The cause of this problem is that the NTLOADER is encountering a duplicate hard drive signature. This signature is calculated by the NTLOADER code after reading a specific sector offset from the hard drive. The following list provides some of the things that can cause a hard drive to have duplicate signatures:

1. Low-level formatting the drives. We reproduced this on several systems at HP.

2. When you have a set of drives previously used with a DAC and move them to a

SCSI adapter.

2-14 HP ProLiant ML150 Server NOS Installation and Software Guide

Installing Microsoft Windows 2000 Server and Small Business Server 2000

3. Using a disk imaging utility to duplicate a hard drive will create a duplicate signature.

At this time, Microsoft has no fix for this problem. For more information please refer to Microsoft document ID: Q226361.

HP recommends that you use the following workaround for this problem.

1. If you experience this problem, remove all drives with the exception of the target boot drive. Install Windows 2000 and then add the removed hard drives to the system after installation of the OS.

2. Run the Disk Management tool to prepare the remainder of the drives to be used in the system.

a. Boot the system with a Windows 98SE recovery diskette. (This version

supports FAT32, which works on larger hard drives.)

b. Perform an FDISK on each drive. c. Install Windows 2000.

Tip #2. Configuring the Parallel (LPT) Port for ECP Mode

The device manager may not show this port on the list when not configured in ECP mode.

HP recommends that you systematically configure the LPT port for ECP mode. Use the following procedure to change the setting:

1. Press the Delete key during power on self-test.

2. Select Advanced > Super IO Configuration > Parallel Port Address to 378.

3. Press the Enter key and select ECP from Parallel Port Mode.

4. Press the Enter key and the F10 key to save and exit.

Installing Microsoft Windows 2000 Server and Small Business Server 2000

Tip #3. Windows 2000 Drivers Signatures

Windows 2000 checks for digital signatures on driver files to help maintain system integrity. During the installation or update of a driver, if there is no matching signature file Windows 2000 displays a “Digital Signature not Found” box.

•

To expedite release of new products, HP may ship drivers without signature files. All Windows 2000 drivers provided by Hewlett-Packard are submitted to Microsoft for certification testing. Upon completion of testing, Microsoft produces signature files. HP then posts the revised driver package at

http://www.hp.com.

•

If a signature warning is displayed during installation of a driver, you may override the warning. We recommend that you check the HP Website for the latest driver package. If available, install the new driver.

•

You can elect to have Windows 2000 ignore signatures: Open Start > Settings > Control Panel > System > Hardware > Driver Signing. This is helpful if you

are setting up multiple systems.

•

Digital signatures are a powerful way to ensure system integrity as you add drivers to the systems - whether provided by HP or others.

Tip #4. Windows 2000 Recovery Options

In the event that the current installation of Windows 2000 fails to boot (this might happen after installing a new driver, component, software, etc), Windows 2000 provides the following recovery options to help you gain access to your Windows 2000 installation to replace damaged files and services for troubleshooting purpose. HP therefore recommends that you install the Recovery Console (refer to option 3 below) to enhance the system configuration.

Recovery option #1: Last Known Good Configuration

•

Activated by pressing the F8 key during the system process of Windows 2000 and selecting Last Known Good Configuration from the menu.

•

This boot mode is used in the case that the system fails to boot after installing a new software or driver. The system will use the previous registry setting to initialize and boot the system.

2-16 HP ProLiant ML150 Server NOS Installation and Software Guide

Installing Microsoft Windows 2000 Server and Small Business Server 2000

Recovery option #2: Safe Mode Boot

This is activated by pressing the F8 key during the OS boot. It provides a minimal configuration with required drivers and services. The safe mode boot provides three options:

•

Standard safe mode boot – provides no network services or drivers.

•

Networking disabled – excludes network services and drivers.

•

Directory services restore mode – brings system up with directory services disabled with the intent of recovering active directory. Safe mode boot is guided by the registry key hklm\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot with the use of the Minimal and Network subkeys. The IO Manager and Service Control Manager look at the registry to load the driver and services. Such approach avoids loading a problematic driver or service.

•

Command prompt – provides an alternate command shell CMD.EXE instead of the explorer. This is dictated by the registry key: hklm\system\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot\AlternateShell

There is a Safe-Mode boot loophole. Since NTLDR loads “Boot Load” drivers, these drivers bypass the IO Manager's Safe Mode check.

Recovery option #3: Recovery Console (RC) Boot

The Recovery Console (RC) can be used when safe boot fails. You can enter RC using one of the following:

•

Booting from Windows 2000 CD-ROM

•

Installing the RC boot on the system

It is recommended to install the RC immediately after installing Windows 2000.

Start RC Booting from Windows 2000 CD-ROM

If you have a need of booting the Windows 2000 recovery console but this feature is not installed on the system, use the following procedure to boot the RC from the Windows 2000 CD-ROM.
