Chapter 2 Checking before OS Installation

2.1 Preparation on the Server

Before starting installation, install internal options to the server and perform
necessary hardware settings.

2.1.1 Installing Internal Options

Internal options are classified into those that must be installed before the OS installation and those that
must be installed after the OS installation.
For installation procedures, refer to "Chapter 7 Installing Hardware Options" ( pg.173).
●
Internal Options That Must be Installed before the OS installation
• Memory modules
• CPUs
• Expansion cards
●
Internal Options That Must be Installed after the OS installation
• Optional SCSI devices
• Internal hard disk units where the Operation System 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, then reinstall the device.
■ Cautions for Installing an Expansion Card
When using an expansion card, read the notes on the expansion card.
■ Cautions for Installing an Optional SCSI Device
When adding an optional SCSI device (DAT, etc.) using a SCSI card, connect it after installing the OS.
Connecting it before OS installation may result in improper drive letter assignment.
■ Cautions for Installing a Memory Module
This server supports up to 6GB of memory. However, the maximum installable size varies depending on
the OS. Furthermore, since the server uses part of the memory as PCI resources, the maximum available
size is limited. The following shows the maximum installable size and the maximum available size.
