Configuring the Preinstalled

Solaris 10 Operating System

This chapter explains the steps for configuring the Solaris™ 10 Operating System (OS) that is preinstalled on the hard disk drive (or solid state drive), if ordered. The preinstalled Solaris version is Solaris 10 10/09 or later.

Note – Unlike with SPARC® systems, you will not see the output of the preinstalled Solaris 10 image through a monitor when you power on the server. You will see the BIOS power-on self-test (POST) and other boot information output.
