Reassemble the HP NetServer.
Connect all the cables and power cords.
Turn on power to the HP NetServer.

Step 4: Configure the Drive

Configure the SCSI controller for the drive using the SCSI Select
If the SCSI controller is not yet configured, run the SCSI Select utility,
included with your system.
Consult your operating system documentation for information on how best
to format the disk drive for this HP NetServer. Typically, you create one
or more partitions on your new hard drive, using the guidelines in
Appendix B, "Disk Drive Characteristics."
CAUTION
No low level format is needed. HP performs the low-level
format at the factory.
Initialize the file system, using the operating system format utility.
NOTE If you are experiencing problems with the drive, watch the
messages on your monitor while the system boots. A message
appears if a drive is not recognized by the HP NetServer
(which happens when the HP NetServer attempts to
communicate with a drive before the drive has finished
spinning up).
If the system did not recognize a hard drive:
Do not power-down (power-cycle) the system to restart it, as
this causes all the drives to stop spinning.
Mount the Drive in the NetServer E 45 or E 50
Wait until all drives reach full speed.
Press the Reset button on the system or press the
Ctrl+Alt+Del hot-key combination to restart the
HP NetServer without powering it down.
