Finishing the Installation

Your server hardware is set up, and you are ready to learn about your system and
make backup copies of important software. The order in which you do these tasks is
up to you. Use the following checklist as a guide:
ØRecord your identification numbers
Your server has important identification information that you might need if you
have it serviced.
Appendix A, “System Records” shows where to find these numbers, and
provides space to record and retain this information.
ØInstall the operating system
If AIX is preinstalled in your server, or if you plan to install AIX yourself, refer to
the AIX documentation for instructions.
ØInstall application programs
To install application programs, follow the instructions supplied with each
application program.
