Chapter 2. Installing Your Software

Before you install software in your server, you need to determine the hardware, software, and operating system requirements for your operating environment. You might need to use the configuration programs on an adapter's Option Diskette before you install an operating system and other software.

This chapter provides hardware and software factors that you might want to consider before selecting and installing an operating system.

At this time, you should have unpacked your server and attached cables to it. (Refer to the Setup sheet for instructions.) See Chapter 1, “Introducing the PC Server 704” on page 1 for a description of your server features.
