If the workstation was shipped with a preinstalled OS, it is configured automatically the first time the
workstation is turned on.
CAUTION Do not add optional hardware devices to your workstation until the operating system is
successfully installed. Doing so can cause errors and might prevent the operating system from installing
properly.
CAUTION When the automatic installation has begun, DO NOT TURN OFF THE WORKSTATION
