User's Manual

18 USC and USC - LCE

such as Red Hat

Enterprise Linux

versions 4.7, 4.8, 5.2, and 5.3 and

SUSE

Linux Enterprise Server version 10 SP2, you must manually install

the extracted drivers after the operating system installation is completed.

However, starting with Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 5.4, SUSE Linux

Enterprise Server version 10 SP3, 11 and later installs, the extracted drivers

are during the operating system installation. See "Deploy the Operating

System" for more information.

NOTE: Although USC - LCE comes with embedded drivers that are factory installed,

there may be more current drivers available. You should run the Platform Update

wizard to ensure that you have the most current drivers before installing the

operating system.

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.

If your system has a RAID controller, you can configure a virtual disk and

choose to use the virtual disk as the boot device.

If your system does not have a RAID controller or if you choose to bypass the

optional RAID configuration, the OS Deployment wizard installs the

operating system to a default location, which is typically the disk identified as

Disk 0 in the BIOS utility.

Launch the Operating System Deployment Wizard

To launch USC, boot your system and press the

<F10> key

within 10 seconds of the Dell logo being displayed.

Click

OS Deployment

in the left pane.

Click

Location (for USC only)" procedure that follows.

For

USC - LCE

"Optional RAID Configuration." If your system does not have a RAID

controller, continue with "Select an Operating System."
