Server

setup

roadmap

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

requires

the

operating

system

to

be

installed.
