Overview of the installation procedure
Installing the controller in an unconfigured server blade
New HP ProLiant server models autoconfigure when they are powered up for the first time. For more information about the autoconfiguration process, see the server-specific setup and installation guide or the
HP ROM-Based Setup Utility User Guide. These guides are available on the server Documentation CD.
IMPORTANT: Do not power up the server until the hardware configuration is satisfactory, as described in the procedure given in this section.

Connect the pass-thru module to a drive enclosure.
If necessary, install physical drives in the drive enclosure.
The number of drives connected to the pass-thru module determines the RAID level that is autoconfigured when the server is powered up. For details, see the server-specific setup and installation guide or the HP ROM-Based Setup Utility User Guide.
