Installation Checklist
Complete setting up your PC Server 704
If you need to set the date, time, passwords or drive-startup
sequences, or do other system setup tasks, use the procedures
in Chapter 3, “Configuring Your Server” on page 39.
Install device drivers
If you install your operating system without using
ServerGuide, be sure to install the SCSI, RAID adapter, and
network-adapter device drivers. If you use ServerGuide to
install your operating system, verify that the appropriate
device drivers are installed correctly. These device drivers are
on the diskettes that come with your server.
These diskettes contain README files to help you install
device drivers and complete your installation. Be sure to
review the README files before you install the device drivers.
Install option files
Some options that you install might come with a diskette that
contains device drivers, configuration files, or test programs.
To install these files (after your operating system is installed),
follow the instructions that come with the diskettes.
Install application programs
To install application programs, follow the instructions
supplied with each application program.
Review your User's Reference
The User's Reference contains information about the hardware
and software features and expansion capabilities of your
server. also contains information about the microprocessors,
memory, data-storage devices, video subsystems, input and
output (I/O) ports, SCSI subsystem, and security. The User's
Reference also includes a glossary and your product warranty
information.
