Re: Cannot boot from CD - Code 4
If you have a SmartArray and it is enabled in the System BIOS, you will see a F8 - Smart Array prompt during POST.
Does the server start to boot from the CD? Or are you seeing this error during POST?

Re: Cannot boot from CD - Code 4
The error code Code 4 appears when the server is attempting to boot from CD - I know I have this CD setup as a bootable CD.
Can you give me some info on the configuration of the controller, please.

Re: Cannot boot from CD - Code 4
Boot from the SmartStart CD and it will provide a GUI interface to configure the SmartArray and install the OS.
If you cannot find your SmartStart CD, if can be downloaded from here:

Hope this helps.

Re: Cannot boot from CD - Code 4
I am guessing the SmartArray was never configured into a Logical Drive before installing the OS. You don't have to have the SmartStart CD to configure the SmartArray, but it helps.
The SmartArray can be configured during POST by pressing F8 when the SmartArray banners.
Note: If your Proliant server has iLO (lights-out management), the first F8 you will see during POST is for the iLO, the 2nd F8 will be for the SmartArray.
