Chapter 2. Server setup roadmap
The installation process varies depending on the configuration of the server when it was delivered. In
some cases, the server is fully configured and just needs to be installed in the rack, connected to power
and the network, and started. In other cases, the server needs to have hardware features installed,
requires hardware and firmware configuration, and requires the operating system to be installed.
