Pre-Installation Requirements
CAUTION: The following installation procedures erase all data on your hard
drive. It is recommended that you backup all important data before you begin
installation.
To determine the devices that are installed on your system:
1
Boot your system from the
Dell Systems Management Tools and
Documentation
media.
2
Select
View Hardware
in the
System Software Manager
window.
The devices installed on your system are listed on your screen.
Before you install the operating system:
• Read any additional document that ships with your operating system.
• Ensure that your system has the latest BIOS, firmware, and driver updates.
If required, download the latest BIOS, firmware, and driver updates from
support.dell.com
or use the Dell Server Update Utility available on the
Dell Server Updates
media.
• Create a device driver media (diskette, USB drive, CD, or DVD).
NOTE: If you are not using the Dell Systems Management Tools and
Documentation media or the USC, and the operating system does not have the
driver for the storage controller, you must create a device driver media. For
more information, see “Creating a Device Driver Media” on page 10.
