Chapter 2 Checking before OS Installation

2.1 Preparation on the Server

Before starting installation, install internal options to the server and perform
necessary hardware settings.

2.1.1 Installing Internal Options

Internal options are classified into those that must be installed before the OS installation and those that
must be installed after the OS installation.
For installation procedures, refer to "Chapter 7 Installing Hardware Options" ( pg.159).
Options That Must be Installed before the OS Installation
• Memory modules
• Expansion cards
Options That Must be Installed after the OS Installation
• Internal hard disk units where the OS is not installed
If an internal option device that must be installed after the OS installation has been already installed,
remove the device, install the OS, and then reinstall the device.
Installing Optional External Devices
When installing external hard disk drives and/or USB devices, turn off their power or unplug their
connection cables from the server during the OS installation. Connect them after the OS installation.
USB floppy disk drive must be connected before installing the OS. Also, connecting it before turning on
the server is sometimes required. For details, refer to "E External Floppy Disk Drive (USB) Notes on
Usage" ( pg.257).
Cautions for Installing an Expansion Card
When using an expansion card, read the notes on the expansion card.
