TURNING ON THE SERVER

Turn on the server and follow the on-screen instructions.
IMPORTANT:
Some optional boards require additional setup with the SETUP utility before installation.
If the server has a PCI board with the PCI-to-PCI bridge installed, the SETUP utility
cannot be started. Check the board specifications to find out whether it requires
pre-installation setups before actually installing the board.
Some installed optional devices or connected peripheral devices require setups before
proceeding to the next step.
To use the server with no optional devices installed besides the graphic board, install the
desired OS to the server.
