Before You Begin
Install Operating System Software per manufacturer's instructions. Below is a
procedure on installing Red Hat Enterprise Linux. The procedure should be used as a
guideline to installing the Linux OS. It should not be followed exactly since the
installation changes with each version of Red Hat released.
Notes:
GCEMS currently supports the following Operating Systems in 32 bit versions
only. GCEMS does not support 64 bit version of Red Hat Linux
RedHat Linux 3.0 ES, Kernal 2.4

NOTE: If you are installing Linux on a Dell server and your Linux installation
files are on a CD-R, the Dell Server Assistant may not recognize the CD-R. If
this occurs, you will need to install your Dell Server software manually (without
using the Dell Server Assistant) and then install the Linux files.
NOTE: In order to customize partitioning as required to run the GCEMS, you
must use Dell Server Assistant Version 8.4 P/N: K7709 Rev. A00 or above.
Note on Re-installation
If you have to re-install Linux, close ClientView and stop all GCEMS or Linux
processes that are running.
