Chapter 4.

Installation

In this chapter we describe both the basic Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI)
operations that administrators should know prior to installing an operating system
and the operating system installation procedures that are specific to the x455.

The following topics are discussed:

“Using The Extensible Firmware Interface” on page 92

“Configuring scalable partitions” on page 131

“Installing Windows Server 2003” on page 136

“Installing Linux” on page 151

A useful document during installation is the paper IBM

Eserver

xSeries 455
