Express Install
You can follow either of two paths for the Express Install. One is using the RPMs yourself to perform the
Express Install, and the other is using a provided shell script to perform the express installation in silent
and unattended mode.
Using the RPMs Yourself To Perform the Express Installation
1
Log on as root to the system running the supported Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system where
you want to install the managed system components.
2 Insert the Dell PowerEdge Installation and Server Management CD into the CD drive.
3 If necessary, use the command line to mount the CD using a command such as:
mount /mnt/cdrom
4 To perform an express installation with Dell Remote Access Card III (DRAC III), navigate to the
srvadmin/linux/express-install-with-RAC3 directory.
or
To perform an
Express Install with Dell Remote Access Controller 4 (DRAC 4), navigate to
srvadmin/linux/express-install-with-RAC4 directory.
NOTE: If your server belongs to the group of Dell PowerEdge™ x8xx servers (for example, PowerEdge 6800
and 6850), navigate to the express-install-with-RAC4 directory.
If your server belongs to a supported group of earlier PowerEdge servers (for example, PowerEdge 1750,
2600, and so on), navigate to the express-install-with-RAC3 directory.
5 Install all of the RPMs in the directory to which you have navigated. Use the following command:
rpm -ihv *.rpm
Server Administrator services do not start automatically.

using the
sh srvadmin-services start command.
