About This Guide
This NOS guide can be used for reference when servicing HP ProLiant ML110 servers.
Audience Assumptions
This guide is for service technicians. HP assumes you are qualified in the servicing of
computer equipment and trained in recognizing hazard in products with hazardous energy
levels and are familiar with weight and stability precautions for rack installations.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from electric shock and hazardous
energy levels, only authorized service technicians should attempt to repair this
equipment. Improper repairs can create conditions that are hazardous.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment:
• Disconnect power from the system by unplugging all power cords from the power
supplies.
• Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding plug is an important
safety feature.
• Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet that is easily
accessible at all times.
CAUTION: To properly ventilate the system, you must provide at least 7.6 cm (3.0 in.) of
clearance at the front and back of the server.
CAUTION: The computer is designed to be electrically grounded (earthed). To ensure proper
operation, plug the AC power cord into a properly grounded AC outlet only.
NOTE: Any indications of component replacement or printed wiring board modifications may void any
warranty.

Preparatory Procedures for NOS Installation
Pre-NOS Installation Procedures
Perform the two pre-NOS installation steps in this section before installing the NOS of your
choice. These include:
1. Configure the hardware aspect of the server.
2. Update the server BIOS.
Hardware Setup
Prepare the server following the instructions in the HP ProLiant ML110 Server Installation

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 are using the Promise FastTrak TX4000 IDE RAID controller, connect the hard
disk drives to the controller following the instructions in the FastTrak User Guide. The
RAID setup for this controller is performed at the BIOS level when the system starts up.
