How to install HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 Plus 2U Rack Server

• Prepare your rack space and confirm there is adequate cooling, power, and network connectivity. Verify that the rack rails are compatible with the 2U DL380 Gen10 Plus chassis and have the proper mounting hardware for secure installation.
• Unpack, inspect the server for damage, and mount it into the rack using the included rails. Secure the chassis with screws at the rack posts and ensure proper ventilation around the unit to maintain performance and longevity.
• Connect power and network cables to the appropriate ports. Consider configuring redundant power feeds if your data center design supports it, and attach network interfaces to your preferred switches or uplinks for management and data traffic.
• Power on the system and enter the BIOS/UEFI to configure essential settings. Enable security features such as secure boot and firmware protection, adjust boot order, and set up a basic DR plan if applicable. Verify that the Intel Xeon Silver processor and installed RAM are recognized correctly.
• Install an operating system or hypervisor of choice, then update all firmware and drivers to the latest versions using HP lifecycle management tools. Configure your storage topology using the Serial ATA Controller and, if needed, set up RAID or other storage policies to protect data and optimize performance.
