Chapter 2: Setting Up Your Server

Setting up the operating system

If you ordered your server with the operating system already installed by Gateway, it 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 an operating system because it was not already installed by Gateway, see the appropriate installation guide for instructions.
