If the workstation was shipped with a preinstalled OS, it is configured automatically the first time the workstation is turned
on.
CAUTION:
Adding optional hardware devices to your workstation before the operating system successfully installs can
cause errors and prevent the operating system from installing properly.
CAUTION:
After the automatic installation has begun, DO NOT TURN OFF THE WORKSTATION UNTIL THIS
PROCESS COMPLETES. Turning off the workstation during the installation process might damage the software that runs
the system.
