Where do I obtain the release notes?

To obtain the release notes, see Table 2 on page 5.

Installing the Operating System

Caution Before the installation, be aware that the process erases the server hard drive and all data and configuration information, if present. If you are reinstalling the operating system and you want to retain the present configuration, be sure to record your previous configuration settings.

Note During the installation, the server reboots several times. Do not power off the server at any time during this process, unless instructed. Any unexpected power interruption during the installation process may prevent proper completion of the configuration and may prevent the operating system from restarting.

Before you connect your server to the network, install the latest operating system upgrade and apply the appropriate Microsoft hotfixes.

To protect the server from virus attacks during the operating system installation, Cisco recommends that you complete the operating system installation and apply the latest operating system upgrades and service releases before you connect the server to the network.

During the installation, you perform the following tasks:

Insert the operating system installation disk into the drive.

Click to acknowledge that the installation process erases existing data.

Read and agree to the terms in the End User License Agreement.

Enter your user name and name of your organization.

Enter the computer name and the administrator password.

Choose the appropriate time zone, date, and time.

Choose the network setting configuration.

Join a workgroup, which serves as a requirement for the application installation.

Using the data that you collected in Table 3, complete the following procedure to configure each server:

Note The server may reboot multiple times to complete installation of additional drivers and patches. Do not reboot the system manually during this time, unless the installation instructs you to do so.
