This class of machine can experience a problem where they lose their RAID config at boot. This problem is tracked is bug 778487. If you see an HP machine at a "Welcome to the Mozilla Corporation Network Installer" screen, it needs to have its RAID config fixed. You can do that with the following steps:

1. Open up the management console for the machine (for example, http://bld-centos6-hp-004-mgmt.build.mozilla.org) - if this doesn't work on your local machine, RDP To winadmin to do it.
2. Click through the "This connection is untrusted" warning and login
3. Open the Remote Console ("Remote Console" -> "Launch" under Java Integrated Remote Console). Click through any warnings/confirmations it throws up.
4. Reset the machine ("Power Switch" -> "Reset")
5. Once the "HP Smart Array" screen comes up, press F8 until you get into the "Option Rom Configuration for Arrays" screen. If you end up in the main BIOS setup, start again.
6. Hit ESC once to get to the main menu of this configuration screen.
7. Choose "Create Logical Drive"
8. Choose the defaults ("Port 1, Box 1, Bay 1" for the drive, "RAID 0" for the RAID config, "Use one drive as spare" should be unchecked, and "Disable" Maximum Boot partition)
9. Press F8 to confirm, Enter to continue, then ESC to exit.
10. The machine should boot to CentOS and reenter the slave pool.
