Setting up the operating system

If you ordered your server with the operating system already installed by
Gateway, in most cases it is completely installed and the basic settings are
already configured. The Windows Small Business Server operating system may
require additional installation, depending on the version you ordered. See your
operating system’s documentation for instructions on completing the
installation or configuring advanced settings for your specific network.

If you are installing an operating system because it was not already installed
by Gateway, see the appropriate installation guide for instructions.

Initial hardware settings

Your server comes from the manufacturer with the correct initial hardware
settings to operate your server as configured. However, you might want to
change settings to reflect a tasking change, a change in security requirements,
or the addition of new resources to your server.

You can change general hardware settings by using the BIOS Setup utility. For
information on the BIOS Setup utility, see

“Using the BIOS Setup Utility” on

page 59

“BIOS Settings” on page 97
