At boot there is a prompt to get into bios and that can configure most arrays.<BR /><BR />Smartstart will let you do some other good things including making sure bios/firmware is up to date.<BR /><BR />The system is shipped redhat ready. Certain disk arrays will require smartstart configuration.<BR /><BR />SEP Mon, 09 Apr 2007 13:37:33 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-linux/installation-linux-on-dl380g5-server/m-p/3977612#M27756 Steven E.
