This section contains information of the server configuration and on installing the operating system.

Make sure that the energy saving functions are disabled in the BIOS Setup during server operation.

4.4.1 Configuration with ServerStart

With the ServerStart CD provided you can configure the server and install the operating system in a convenient manner. The menu-guided configuration includes the server configuration with the SCU and the disk-array controller configuration with the GAM (Global Array Manager) or Adaptec Storage Manager.

Note on SCSI-ID:

i Please note that the SCSI-IDs for the hard disk drives are permanently assigned, i.e. in the order 0, 1, 2 and 3 from bottom to top.

Descriptions of operating systems not covered in the disk array controller manual are provided in the appropriate readme files on the driver diskettes.

To find out how to operate ServerStart and for further information see the corresponding CD booklet.

If you use ServerStart, you can skip the following sections on how to configure the server and install the operating system. Continue with the section "Locking the tower server" instead.
