Installing an operating system

To install an operating system on the server, use one of the following methods:

If the HPE Rapid Setup Software USB drive is shipped with the server, you can use this software to install the OS. The RSS main menu will display the available OS install images for the server.
Install an OS directly from the OS installation media.

This installation media can either be an optical CD/DVD or a USB drive. If you are using an OS installation CD/DVD and the server does not have an internal optical drive installed, an external USB optical drive is required.
