If the workstation was shipped with a preinstalled OS, it is configured automatically the first time the workstation is turned on.
CAUTION: Adding optional hardware devices to your workstation before the operating system successfully installs can cause errors and prevent the operating system from installing properly.
CAUTION: After the automatic installation has begun, DO NOT TURN OFF THE WORKSTATION UNTIL THIS PROCESS COMPLETES. Turning off the workstation during the installation process might damage the software that runs the system.
