Installing the Operating System
Procedure
Step 1 Locate the operating system installation disk.
Step 2 Insert the disk and then power up the server. You must boot from this disk to begin installing the operating system.

Step 3 When a message displays that states that all existing configuration and information on the hard drive will be lost, click OK to continue the installation.
