Setting up the operating system
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, at some point 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.
General hardware settings, as well as the onboard RAID solution, can be changed by using
the BIOS Setup utility. Add-in RAID solutions must be configured using the specific RAID
console which accompanied that solution.
For information on the BIOS Setup utility, see “Using the BIOS Setup Utility” on page 65 .
For information on BIOS settings, see “BIOS Settings” on page 95 . For information on the
RAID BIOS Console utility, see “Configuring your onboard RAID solution” on page 42 . For
information on a specific RAID console for an add-in RAID solution, see the documentation
on that hardware which accompanied your RAID solution.
