Installing Your Server
❏ Follow the Server Setting Up information in your User’s Guide to
unpack and install your server.
❏ If your server includes Network Operating System software
preloaded at the factory, it will boot-up to the operating system
license agreement screen. Follow the screen prompts and Software
Notes to complete loading of your operating system. Servers that
include Network Operating System software preloaded at the
factory, include a 10MB (minimum size) maintenance partition.
If your system does not include Network Operating System
software, create a maintenance partition using ExpressBuilder,
before loading the operating system.
❏ Options ordered with your server are already installed. If you have
additional adapter boards and devices for your server, install them
before putting the server in the location you have selected. Follow
the procedures in the Upgrades and Options chapter of the system
User’s Guide, plus installation inserts and vendor documents that
came with the option.
