Configuring an EMC Boot Device

Installing Windows You are ready to install the Windows operating system files.

For HP ProLiant BL20p G2 servers, follow the steps under HP ProLiant BL20p

G2 Windows 2000 OS Installation on page 3-24.

You need the following materials to install Windows:

◆Windows CD-ROM for the Windows version you wish to install.

◆EMC-approved QLogic HBA driver diskette for Windows

If you bound a new LUN to serve as your boot disk, ensure that the bind procedure is complete (EMC ControlCenter Navisphere Management software, LUN Properties tab Percent Bound).

1.Insert a bootable Windows CD-ROM in the drive and reboot the system.

If your system has a bootable disk already configured from a previous installation, the software will prompt you to press any key to boot from CD-ROM. If the bootable disk is not the storage array disk on which you want to install Windows, then you should disable that disk’s SCSI BIOS as described under Preparing the Server on page 3-18.

2.Immediately after the Windows installation begins, press F6 when directed or when the blue screen appears following this banner:

Setup is inspecting your computer's hardware configuration ---

Pressing F6 tells the Windows installer that you want to load a third-party driver before proceeding with the installation.

If you do not press F6 in time to add the drivers, restart the server to try again.

3.When prompted for additional drivers, select S.

4.Insert the EMC HBA Drivers diskette for your OS. Then press ENTER to continue.

5.Select the appropriate QLogic boot HBA from the next menu.

6.Press ENTER to continue.

Setup continues to load files. The Welcome to Setup screen appears.
