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

Before installing internal options, refer to "PRIMERGY ServerBooks" supplied with the server, and
"Supplement" supplied with each option.
●
Internal options that must be installed before the OS installation
Install the internal options in the server blades, and install the blades and options on the chassis. For
details on the internal options, refer to the following:
• Installing internal options to server blades
→ "Chapter 7 Installing Internal Options" ( pg.173)
• Installing blades, Power Supply Unit, and Fan Unit on the chassis
→ "Chapter 4 Installing Options" in "BX620 S3 Blade Server System Unit Hardware Guide"
●
Internal options that must be installed after the OS Installation
• Hard disk without OS installed
• Optional SCSI devices
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.
■ LAN Cable
Be sure to connect the LAN cable when the server is not connected to the Internet.
Connecting to the Internet during setup can cause security problems. Do not connect to the Internet
until the setup completes.
If the OS is installed or applications are automatically installed without connecting the LAN cable, an
error may be recorded in the event viewer after the setup process finishes.
■ Cautions for Installing an Expansion Card
When using an expansion card, read the notes on the expansion card.
