I need to do a clean install from scratch of Windows Server 2019 on five, DL360 Gen 9 servers.  Is there an instruction document for this?

Here is the overview and I have added links to the docs below:

1. Prepare for Installation:

   • Ensure that your server's firmware is up to date to avoid any compatibility issues during the installation of Windows Server 2019.
   • Verify that all hardware components are functioning correctly and are compatible with Windows Server 2019.

2. Installation Process:

   • Boot the server from the installation media. You can use a USB drive or DVD containing the Windows Server 2019 installation files.
   • Follow the on-screen prompts to begin the installation. You will need to select the correct drive for installation and format it if necessary.
   • Complete the installation by setting up the initial configuration, such as setting the administrator password and configuring network settings.

3. Post-Installation Configuration:

   • Install the necessary drivers for your server’s hardware. This includes network adapters, storage controllers, and any other essential hardware components.
   • It is recommended to install the latest HPE Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP) to ensure all drivers and firmware are up to date.
   • Configure server roles and features as required for your environment.
