Things You Must Decide

■Where will you install the OS? You can install an OS using the flash module, which is similar to a hard drive. See the Sun Blade X6275 Server Module Service Manual for instructions to access the flash module.

Note – The Sun Blade X6275 server module supports industry-standard RKVM with devices connected to it through a USB port or the service processor. For information about setting up USB connections to your system, see “Using a Remote Control Application (RKVM)” on page 3.

■Do you need to update the operating system and drivers?

For information on updating your software, see Chapter 3, “Post Installation” on page 17.

What to Do Next

The chapters in this guide provide detailed installation information.

You should also gather the installation, administration, and configuration documentation distributed with the operating system. These documents generally accompany the distribution media as printed manuals or are included as PDF files on the medium itself. In many cases, the latest versions of such documents are also downloadable from the web site of the OS vendor.
