Chapter 2 Checking before OS Installation

2.1 Preparation on the Server

Before starting installation of the OS, install internal options in the server and perform
hardware settings.

2.1.1 Installing Internal Options

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 6 Installing Internal Options"
( pg.109).
Options to be installed before the OS installation
• Internal hard disk unit to install OS
• Memory modules
• Expansion cards
Options to be installed after the OS installation
• Optional SCSI/SAS devices
• Internal hard disk units where the OS is not installed
If an internal device option that must be installed after the OS installation has been already installed,
remove the device, and reinstall the device after completion of OS installation.
Installing optional external devices
When installing an external option SCSI/SAS device and/or a USB connected device, turn off power
supply or unplug their connection cables from the server during the OS installation. Connect them again
after the OS installation.
It is, however, necessary to connect the USB floppy disk drive before installing the OS.
Before turning on the server, connect a USB floppy disk drive. If you connect it after the server is
turned on, it may not be recognized properly. For more information, refer to "Appendix C External
Floppy Disk Drive (USB) Notes on Usage" ( pg.214).
Cautions for installing an expansion card
When using an expansion card, read the notes on the expansion card.
