Chapter 2. 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
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.
