Prerequisites
Ensure that you have the HPE Smart Array MR Gen10 P824i-p controller driver available. Obtain it by extracting it from the SPP (http://www.hpe.com/servers/spp) or by downloading it from the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Support website https://www.support.hpe.com.
Procedure
- Power on the server.
- If you are running the server in UEFI Boot Mode, select F9 (System Utilities).
- (Optional) If running the server in Legacy Boot Mode, set the controller as the boot controller.
- (Optional) If running the server in Legacy Boot Mode, change the controller boot order.
- Configure a logical drive or select physical drives for JBOD mode using the Smart Array configuration utility in UEFI System Utilities.
- Launch the operating system installation and point to the controller driver when prompted.
- If the operating system utility does not see the drive, repeat the step to configure the logical drive or select physical drives for JBOD and retry the installation.
- After the installation is complete, use MR Storage Administrator, StorCLI, or the SPP to update the controller firmware if it is not the latest revision.
