Chapter 2. Installing Your Software
Before you install software in your server, you need to determine
the hardware, software, and operating system requirements for your
operating environment. You might need to use the configuration
programs on an adapter's Option Diskette before you install an
operating system and other software.
This chapter provides hardware and software factors that you might
want to consider before selecting and installing an operating system.
At this time, you should have unpacked your server and attached
cables to it. (Refer to the Setup sheet for instructions.) See
Chapter 1, “Introducing the PC Server 704” on page 1 for a
description of your server features.
