Sun Microsystems X4640 manual Installing Linux With SIA

Installing Linux With SIA

After setting up the pre-installation environment, the SIA Installing Additional Software dialog appears.

8In the Installing Additional Software dialog, SIA installs additional platform-specific drivers, as needed. Review the information presented.

9Remove the SIA media and click the Reboot button.

The server reboots and continues with the installation of the operating system. If remote update was selected, SIA retrieves the latest files from the web. Otherwise it uses the files on the OS distribution media. Follow the on-screen instructions and perform reboot(s) as prompted.

Next Steps After completing the OS installation, do the following:

■Install and configure additional drivers and utilities for your server not installed by SIA. This provides you the supported feature set for installed server components (for example, additional drivers may include ACPI, video, network and mass storage).

■Install Sun-specific optional software available on your server’s Tools and Drivers (also known as Resource) CD/DVD as described in your server OS installation and Product Notes documentation.

■Download and install the latest Linux operating system updates and fixes from the Linux operating system vendor’s web site.
