Factory-Installed Operating Systems
For your convenience, you can order the hard disk drives for the Sun Blade server
modules with factory-installed operating system software. This means that the
software for the operating system is completely installed on the HDD, including the
latest operating system device drivers. However, some setup actions must be
performed prior to using the operating system. For more information about
performing these initial setup actions, see one of the following chapters in the
Sun Blade 8000 Series Installation Guide:
