The
installation
process
varies
depending
on
the
configuration
of
the
server
when
it
was
delivered.
In
some
cases,
the
server
is
fully
configured
and
just
needs
to
be
installed
in
the
rack,
connected
to
power
and
the
network,
and
started.
In
other
cases,
the
server
needs
to
have
hardware
features
installed,
requires
hardware
and
firmware
configuration,
and
required
the
operating
system
to
be
installed.
