Configuring the Preinstalled Solaris 10 
Operating System 

Before you perform this procedure, you need to set up the service processor. 

If you have not done so, see 

. 

Use the information that you gathered in 

 as you 

perform the configuration. 

After configuring the ILOM SP, you can configure the preinstalled Solaris 10 
operating system (OS) by using another system to connect to the server, or install a 
Linux or Windows platform operating system. The possible ways to do this are 
described here:

■

If you use this method, you first need to determine the service processor’s IP 
address and the server must be connected to the network.

■

If you use this method, you do not need to determine the service processor’s IP 
address, but you will need to have a cable connection from the server to the serial 
port of a host system.

■

If you want to install a supported Windows or Linux OS and the required drivers,
