2 Preparing your HP Server tc2110 for
your NOS installation
Section 1. Hardware Setup
Prepare your HP server following the instructions in the HP Server tc2110
Operations and Maintenance Guide.
It is recommended that you do not install any third party adapter until you verify
that the HP equipment is functioning properly and you complete the NOS
installation.
Preparing your Hard Disk Drives
The HP Tower Server tc2110 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 you 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:
a. Perform a media check
b. Use a utility such as fdisk to erase all data and partitions from your hard
drive.
Section 2. Updating your Server BIOS
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 in a Windows PC and follow the on-screen instructions.
NOTE If the Windows PC does not auto-start the Startup menu, start it
by opening Startup.htm, found at the root level of the Startup
CD.
3
Chapter 2 Preparing your HP Server tc2110 for your NOS installation
Section 3. Run HP Diagtools
To perform HP Diagtools hardware diagnostic on your HP Server tc2110, switch
off your HP server then reboot on the Startup CD and follow the on-screen
instructions. View and save the hardware inventory after the test.
Section 4. Using the Startup CD
The Startup CD included with your HP Server tc2110 system may be used as
follows:
Startup CD Usage
Method 1 Method 2 Method 3
Insert CD in your new
HP server and reboot it.
This will run HP
Diagtools (a DOS
program)
* This method is not available on NetWare servers since they don't have an HTML browser.
Insert the CD in a PC
that includes a HTML
browser.
Open the file
startup.htm.
This allows you create
drivers diskettes (HTML
menus)
Insert the CD in the server
once the NOS is
running.*
Open the file startup.htm.
This allows you create
drivers diskettes and
provides an automated
installation of Windows
NT or 2000 video drivers
(HTML menus).

Windows NT installation by entering:
ipconfig /all
5. To verify the server and clients can communicate properly:
a. From one of the clients, open a command prompt and type:
ping computername
Where computername is the server name you entered during Windows
NT installation. You should get four reply's from your new server. If
there is a link problem it must be fixed before going any further.
You may test the link further by doing a ping between two clients at the
same command prompt, type:
ping other_client_IPaddress
You should get four replies from the second client.
b. Copy files back and forth from the clients to the server.
Section 7. Install Additional HP Accessories
The hp server tc2110 Startup CD includes the drivers for the following HP
accessories:
