CHAPTER 2: Setting Up Your Server | www.gateway.com |
Setting up the operating system
If you ordered your server with the operating system already installed by Gateway, in most cases it is completely installed and the basic settings are already configured. The Windows Small Business Server operating system may require additional installation, depending on the version you ordered. See your operating system’s documentation for instructions on completing the installation or 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.
Initial hardware settings
Your server comes from the manufacturer with the correct initial hardware settings to operate your server as configured. However, at some point you might want to change settings to reflect a tasking change, a change in security requirements, or the addition of new resources to your server.
General hardware settings can be changed by using the BIOS Setup utility. For information on the BIOS Setup utility, see “Using the BIOS Setup Utility” on page 65. For information on BIOS settings, see “BIOS Settings” on page 101.
