Server Configuration Overview
The steps listed below give an overview of the necessary setup
procedures for preparing the HP ProLiant MicroServer for operation:
1. Connect the AC power cord and peripheral devices.
2. Power up the server.
3. Press “F10” to enter BIOS setup.
4. Note the server BIOS version.
5. Verify the server BIOS version against the latest BIOS version
listed for this server on the HP website: http://www.hp.com.
6. If you do not have the latest BIOS, update the BIOS now. Refer to
the HP ProLiant MicroServer Maintenance and Service Guide
available on the HP website: http://www.hp.com.
7. Install a supported operating system of your choice. For detailed
procedures, refer to the documentation provided by the
operating system vendor. For a list of operating systems
supported by your ProLiant server, go to
http://www.hp.com/go/supportos.
Pre and Post-installation Procedures
When installing additional options in your HP ProLiant MicroServer,
please use the following procedures:
Pre-installation procedures
1. Turn off the server and all the peripherals connected to it.
2. Unplug all cables from the power outlets to avoid exposure to
high energy levels that may cause burns when parts are
short-circuited by metal objects such as tools or jewelry.
3. Disconnect telecommunication cables to avoid exposure to shock
hazard from ringing voltages.
4. Open the panel door by following the procedure described later
in the “Opening the server” section.
Post-installation procedures
1. Make sure that all components are installed according to the
described step-by-step instructions.
2. Verify that you have not left loose tools or other parts inside the
server.
3. Reinstall the peripherals and system cables that you have
previously removed.
4. Reinstall the system board into the chassis.
5. Connect all external cables to the system.
6. Press the power button on the top panel to turn on the server.
Opening the server
Open the panel door before removing or replacing a server
component.
1. Use the HP ProLiant MicroServer’s key to unlock the panel door.
2. Open the panel door of the server. If necessary, remove any
components or cables that prevent access to the slot.
3. Unfasten the screws to release the system tray.
4. Pull out the system tray.
5. When the system tray reaches the place that the arrow shows
(once the cables catch), disconnect all cables on the system
board.

NOTE: Completely remove the system tray from the chassis
before attempting to remove or replace the component on the
system board.
Installing a memory module
The system has two DIMM slots that support up to 8 GB maximum
system memory (4 GB in each of the two DIMM slots).
Memory installation guidelines
Observe the following important guidelines when installing memory
modules:
•Use only HP supported unbuffered ECC DDR3 DIMM in 1 GB,
2 GB or 4 GB DIMM capacities.
•For optimal performance, all DIMMs installed must be of the same
speed.
1. Completely open the holding clips securing the module.
2. Align the notch on the bottom edge of the module with the keyed
surface of the DIMM slot and then press the module fully into
the slot.
3. Lock the holding clicks to secure the memory module in place.
Installing a hard drive
The server has four 3.5” hard disc drive bays that support non-hot-plug
SATA drives. The basic system comes with one single hard drive. The
type and capacity of drives vary based on the server model.
Hard drive installation
1. Press the hard disk carrier latch to release the handle.
2. Lift the handle.
3. Use the handle to pull the hard disk carrier out of the hard disc
drive bay.
4. Install the new hard drive:
4a. Align the new hard drive on the carrier.
4b. Secure the hard drive assembly with four mounting screws.
5. Install the new hard drive assembly in the chassis:
5a. Insert the new hard drive assembly in the hard disc drive bay.
5b. Lock the hard disc drive carrier handle.

6
NOTE: Repeat similar steps as indicated for the other hard
disc drives installation.
Installing the power supply unit
The system supports Server Standard & Compliant supplies, along with
any other compatible supplies that may be developed.
