Setting Up an Operating System Using Oracle System Assistant

The server supports several operating systems. Therefore, you do not have to use the preinstalled operating system on your server. If you want to install a fresh or newer version of the preinstalled operating system or a different operating system, you can do so, provided it is a supported version. For a list of supported operating systems, refer to the Oracle Server X5-2 Product Notes at https://www.oracle.com/goto/x5-2/docs.

You can configure a preinstalled operating system (OS), or install a supported OS for your server. The following table describes how to access information about installing or configuring an OS.
