The installation sequence depends on the internal options which must be installed before or after
installation of the OS.
For installation procedures, refer to "Chapter 7 Installing Hardware Options" ( pg.119).
Options to be installed before the OS installation
• Memory modules
• Expansion cards
Options to be installed after the OS installation
• Internal DAT72 unit or internal data cartridge drive unit
• 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.

cables from the server during the OS installation. Connect them after the OS installation.
