Site requirements
Select an installation site that meets the detailed installation site
requirements described in the server user guide in the HP ProLiant
Gen8 Server Management Information Library (http://www.hp.com/go/
proliantgen8/docs).
Software prerequisites
• Intelligent Provisioning is a single-server deployment tool embedded in all
HP ProLiant Gen8 servers, and it replaces the SmartStart CDs and Smart
Update Firmware DVD shipped with previous generation HP ProLiant
servers. The CDs and DVD do not ship with HP ProLiant Gen8 servers. To
prepare for installing the system software using Intelligent Provisioning,
obtain a supported operating system on a DVD, CD, FTP server, network, or
USB drive. For more information about using Intelligent Provisioning, see
the HP Intelligent Provisioning User Guide on the HP website (http://www.
hp.com/go/intelligentprovisioning/docs).
• Use Intelligent Provisioning to register your server for remote support
and to prepare for managing the server on the HP Support Center portal.
If HP Insight Remote Support 7.x is installed in the server environment,
you need the port number and the IP address (or host name) of the HP
Insight Remote Support hosting device. The default port number is 7906.
For more information, see the HP Insight Remote Support guides in the
HP Insight Remote Support Information Library (http://www.hp.com/go/
insightremotesupport/docs).
• If you are deploying multiple servers or prefer to install the operating
system remotely, use HP Insight Control automated server deployment. For
more information, see the HP Insight Control Server Deployment User Guide
in the HP Insight Software Information Library (http://www.hp.com/go/
insightcontrol/docs).
• HP Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP) is a comprehensive systems software
and firmware solution for HP ProLiant servers and server blades and
their enclosures. SPP uses HP Smart Update Manager (HP SUM) to deploy
firmware and system software components on multiple HP ProLiant
servers. If you will not be connected to the Internet during the setup,
download the latest HP SPP from the SPP website (http://www.hp.com/go/
spp/download).
For a detailed installation and configuration checklist, see the HP ProLiant
Gen8 Server and iLO Management Engine Setup Guide in the HP ProLiant
Gen8 Server Management Information Library (http://www.hp.com/go/
proliantgen8/docs).

Install hardware options
Install any hardware options before initializing the server. For options
installation information, see the documentation that ships with the
option. For server-specific information, see the server user guide in the
HP ProLiant Gen8 Server Management Information Library (http://www.
hp.com/go/proliantgen8/docs).

Install the server in the rack
WARNING: The server is very heavy. To reduce the risk of personal injury
or damage to the equipment:
• Reduce the weight of the server by removing the hard drives and power
supplies before installing the server into the rack.
• At least two people are required to lift the server during installation or
removal.
CAUTION: Always plan the rack installation so that the heaviest item is
on the bottom of the rack. Install the heaviest item first, and continue to
populate the rack from the bottom to the top.
Install the server into the rack. For more information, see the Quick
Deploy Rail System Installation Instructions that ship with the rack
hardware kit.
