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 Internal Options" (
pg.161).
● Internal options that must be Installed before the OS installation
• Memory Modules
• Expansion cards
● Internal options that must be Installed after the OS installation
• Optional SCSI devices
• Internal hard disk units where the Operating 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.
■ LAN Cable
Be sure to connect the LAN cable when the server is not connected to the Internet. If the OS is installed
or applications are automatically installed without connecting the LAN cable to the LAN card, an error
may be recorded in the event viewer after setup completes.
Connecting to the Internet during setup can cause security problems. Do not connect to the Internet
until the setup completes.
