Getting Started With Your System
Operating System Installation
The NovaScale T860 F2 offers an embedded Configuration utility: the Unified
Server Configurator - Lifecycle Controller Enabled (USC-LCE), which includes
an OS Deployment Wizard that assists you with the installation of the Operating
System.
Refer to the technical characteristics of the server on
http://www.bull.com/novascale to get the list of supported operating systems.
NOTE:
The list of operating systems offered by the USC may be larger than the
list of the supported Operating Systems.
NOTE:
for the installation of a supported Operating System not listed in the USC,
see http://support.bull.com .
Residing on an embedded flash memory card, USC-LCE is similar to a BIOS
utility in that it can be started during the boot sequence and can function
independently of an installed operating system.
USC-LCE provides drivers that may be required for operating system
installation, depending on which operating system you are installing. The OS
Deployment wizard extracts these drivers and copies them to a staging directory.
These files are deleted after an 18-hour period or when you press the <F10> key
to either cancel operating system installation or re-enter USC after rebooting.
NOTE:
During the 18-hour period when the drivers are extracted to the temporary
location, you cannot update USC, drivers, or diagnostics using a Driver Update
Package after the operating system is installed, or the Driver Update Package will
display a message that another session is open.
For supported Microsoft® Windows® operating systems, these extracted
drivers are installed during the operating system installation. For supported
Linux operating systems, you must manually install the extracted drivers after
the operating system installation is complete.
Before installing the operating system, the OS Deployment wizard detects if a
boot device is available. A boot device is a physical disk, virtual disk, or other
storage device on which the operating system can be installed.
To begin installation
1 Connect the keyboard, monitor, mouse, and any additional peripherals to
your system.
2 Turn on the system and the attached peripherals.
