2 Setting Up the Software
This chapter describes how to set up the operating system and associated system software for your
system.
Preparing for Setup
Your workstation’s primary hard disk drive was formatted and partitioned before shipment. In
Explorer or My Computer, you can right-click a disk drive and click Properties to display the
drive’s partition size and file system format. If you purchased other disk drives, you may have to
format and partition them for use. See the operating system documentation and Help for more
information on formatting, partitioning, and administering disk drives.
The operating system and associated system software is installed on the system’s primary hard disk
drive. Installed system software includes:
♦
Driver software for the SCSI controller, graphics controller, audio controller, and mouse
♦
Driver software for peripheral devices and expansion cards installed at the factory
♦
Core networking software
♦
The latest certified operating system Service Pack software, if needed
♦
Quick-Fix Engineering (QFE) software, if needed
♦
System management software
The operating system is installed through the first phase of the Setup process. You must follow the
Setup process to prepare the operating system for use.
Before you go through operating system Setup, have the following documents available:
♦
Microsoft’s operating system documentation
♦
Documentation for the system’s graphics controller and any other installed expansion cards
♦
Your system’s Late-Breaking News (if provided)
