Installation and Configuration

WA RNIN G: Before performing the following procedure, review the safety

instructions that came with the system.

Unpacking the System

Unpack your system and identify each item.

Optional – Connecting the Keyboard, Mouse, and Monitor

Connect the keyboard, mouse, and monitor (optional).

The connectors on the back of your system have icons indicating which cable to

plug into each connector. Be sure to tighten the screws (if any) on the monitor's

cable connector.

4 Getting Started With Your System

Connecting the Power Cable

Connect the system’s power cable to the system and, if a monitor is used,

connect the monitor’s power cable to the monitor.

Securing the Power Cable

Bend the system power cable into a loop as shown in the illustration and attach

to the cable clasp.

Getting Started With Your System 5

Plug the other end of the power cable into a grounded electrical outlet or

a separate power source such as an uninterrupted power supply (UPS) or

a power distribution unit (PDU).

NOTE: Ensure that the system is connected to a stand-alone power source with

stable power supply for better performance.

Turning On the System

Press the power button on the system. The power indicator should light.

Operating System Installation

The NovaScale T810B F2 offers an embedded Configuration utility: the Unified

Server Configurator (USC), which includes an OS Deployment Wizard that

assists you with the installation of the Operating System.

Refer to the technical characteristics of the server on

http://www.bull.com/novascale

to get the list of supported operating systems.

NOTE: The list of operating systems offered by the USC may be larger than the

list of the supported Operating Systems.

NOTE: for the installation of a supported Operating System not listed in the USC,

see

http://support.bull.com

.

Residing on an embedded flash memory card, USC is similar to a BIOS utility

in that it can be started during the boot sequence and can function independently

of an installed operating system.

The USC of the NovaScale T810B F2 server does not provide an operating

system drivers repository that may be required for operating system installation.

You have to use a local USB source that has drivers on it, in a specific format to

be read by USC. To get the most up-to-date version of the drivers, it is advised

to download the drivers repository from the Bull Support web site. The

downloaded .iso file has to be burnt to a CDROM which will be used as a local

USB source for the USC.

A drivers repository is also included in the "Bull NovaScale Universal

R400/T800 Series - Resource CD" CDROM shipped with the server.

The OS Deployment wizard extracts these drivers and copies them to a staging

directory. These files are deleted after an 18-hour period or when you press the

<F10> key to either cancel operating system installation or re-enter USC after

rebooting.

NOTE: During the 18-hour period when the drivers are extracted to the temporary

location, you cannot update USC, drivers, or diagnostics using a Driver Update

Package after the operating system is installed, or the Driver Update Package will

display a message that another session is open.

For supported Microsoft® Windows® and Linux operating systems, these

extracted drivers are installed during the operating system installation.

Before installing the operating system, the OS Deployment wizard detects if a

boot device is available. A boot device is a physical disk, virtual disk, or other

storage device on which the operating system can be installed.

Getting Started With Your System 7

To begin installation

1

Connect the keyboard, monitor, mouse, and any additional peripherals to

your system.

2

Turn on the system and the attached peripherals.

3

Press

<F10>

in the POST to start the System Services.

NOTE: The Initializing UEFI. Please wait... and the Entering System Services...Starting

Unified Server Configurator messages are displayed.

NOTE: : If <F10> is not available because the System Services is disabled, press <Ctrl E>

in the POST when the message is displayed, to enter in the BMC configuration utility.

Select System Services and press Enter. Set System Services to "Enable". Exit the tool by

saving the changes . At next reboot <F10> must be available.

4

Insert the "Bull NovaScale Universal R400/T800 Series - Resource CD"

CDROM in the DVD drive

5

Click

OS Deployment

in the left pane.

6

Click

Deploy OS

in the right pane.

7

Click

8

Select

Local Drive (CD/DVD/USB)

and click

9

Select the repository in the drop down list and click

NOTE: In the Select Media drop down list, the reference of the "Bull NovaScale Universal

R400/T800 Series - Resource CD" CDROM is displayed.

NOTE: : If your system has a RAID controller, you have the option of launching the RAID

Configuration wizard and configuring a virtual disk as the boot device.

If your system does not have a RAID controller or if you choose to bypass the optional RAID

configuration, the OS Deployment wizard installs the operating system to a default location,

which is typically the disk identified as Disk 0 in the BIOS utility

10

Select the operating system you want to install and click

11

USC extracts the drivers required by the operating system you selected.

NOTE: USC or USC-LCE renders the drivers through the OEMDRV directory to the

operating system.

NOTE: For Microsoft Windows operating system, the drivers are extracted to an internal

USB drive named OEMDRV.

NOTE: The process for extracting the drivers may take several minutes.

NOTE: All drivers copied by the OS Deployment wizard are removed after 18 hours. To

remove the drivers before the 18-hour period is over, reboot the system and press the <F10>

key to re-enter USC.

8 Getting Started With Your System

12

After the drivers are extracted, USC prompts you to insert the operating

system installation media.

13

Insert the operating system installation media when prompted and click

NOTE: USC supports internal SATA optical drives and USB optical drives. If the

installation media is corrupt or not readable, then USC may be unable to detect the presence

of a supported optical drive. In this case, you may receive an error message stating that no

optical drive is available. If the media is not valid (if it is the incorrect CD or DVD, for

example), a message displays requesting that you insert the correct installation media

14

Click Finish to reboot the system and continue with the operating system

installation. Upon reboot, the system boots to the operating system

installation media.

NOTE: When the system reboots after you click Finish, you may be prompted to press a

key before booting to the operating system installation media. If you do not press a key, the

system boots to the hard drive and not the operating system installation media.

NOTE: : In the event that the operating system installation is interrupted and the system

reboots before installation completes, you may be prompted to press a key in order to boot

from the operating system installation media.

NOTE: You can cancel the operating system installation by pressing the <F10> key.

Pressing the <F10> key at any point during the installation process or while rebooting causes

any drivers provided by the OS Deployment wizard to be removed.
