Setting up your server involves connecting a monitor, mouse, and keyboard,
expanding your system to suit your needs, and connecting to the network.
First, acquaint yourself with your server’s features, as shown in the next
section, “Your Server at a Glance.” Also, be sure to read the section “Security
Issues” for important information about protecting your server from
unauthorized access. Then, if you want to install an expansion card or install
other internal devices, see the appropriate sections in Chapter 3 before
returning to the setup procedures in this chapter. Once you’ve connected the
monitor, mouse, and keyboard, you may need to refer to Chapter 3 again if
you’re connecting external devices.
You complete the setup process by connecting your server to the network, as
described in Chapter 2. Once your server is connected to the network, see the
Work gr o up Server Administrator’s Guide for instructions on configuring your
server’s system software.
