Setting up the operating system

If you ordered your server with the operating system already installed by Gateway, Windows 2000 Server is completely installed and the basic settings are already configured. See your operating system’s documentation for instructions on configuring advanced settings for your specific network.

If you are installing Windows 2000 Server because it was not already installed by Gateway, see the Installing Windows 2000 Server installation guide for instructions.

If you are installing a non-Windows operating system, see your operating system’s documentation for instructions.
