The chapters are organized to reflect top-level tasks. The first chapter details the physical installation of the appliance hardware, including rack mounting, cabling, and power up procedures. The second chapter explains the initial configuration of the operating system software and network and some basic checks that should be run on a newly installed system.

Appendices provide additional information that, while not essential to a normal installation, may prove useful in special circumstances. These list the private network addresses used when installing the VTL Value appliance, provide instructions for serially connecting to the VTL Value Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) service processor, and summarize commands that can be entered at the ILOM commandline interface (CLI).
