User's Manual
20 USC and USC - LCE
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.
