Installing and Configuring the Server and Operating System
Perform the following steps to determine if an operating system is already installed on your system:
Ensure that the keyboard, mouse, and monitor are connected
to your system, and turn on your system.
Read and accept the software license agreement to continue.
If a message appears and states that bootable drives do not exist or that an operating system was not found, then an operating system is not installed on your system. Have your operating system CD available and continue with step 3.
NOTE: If an operating system is already installed on your
system, it is not necessary to continue with this process.
To complete the installation process, locate the
Installation Instructions document that was provided with
your system and follow these instructions.
Insert the Dell PowerEdge SC Server Installation CD and
restart your system.
The following options are available during system boot:
Server Assistant — Boots through the CD.
Server Assistant with CD media check — Checks if the CD is created correctly and for validity of content.
Skip CD boot - Boot to hard drive — Boots from the hard drive and verifies if an operating system is installed on your system. If an operating system is not installed on your system, boots through the CD.
NOTE: If you do not select an option within 10 seconds, the
system automatically boots through the CD.
Select the language that you want to use.
Read and accept the software license agreement to continue.
Select Server Setup on the System Support main page.
Follow the step-by-step instructions to configure your
hardware and to install your operating system.
The Dell PowerEdge SC Server Installation CD contains device drivers and system utilities that you can use to update your system. Use this CD to locate and extract the drivers designed for your system.
NOTE: To update drivers and utilities, you can run the Dell
PowerEdge SC Server Installation CD only on systems running the
Microsoft® Windows® operating system. To extract drivers for
systems that are not running Windows, you must first use this CD on a
system running Windows and then copy or share the selected files to
the final destination system.
Insert the Dell PowerEdge SC Server Installation CD into the
CD drive on the system running Windows.
The setup program should start automatically. If it does not, click the Start button, click Run, and then type x:setup.exe (where x is the drive letter of your CD drive).
Select the system and the file set that you want to update and
click Continue.
Click the file name of the file you want to update.
You are prompted for a location to save the file.
Files are delivered in compressed format. Running the compressed file either creates a diskette(s)
during the extraction or prompts you for the location to save the extracted
files.
