Set Up for Local Installation

A local OS installation is performed at the server. The preferred procedure for a local installation method is to use the Oracle System Assistant's Install OS task. Use this procedure to set up for a local Oracle System Assistant assisted installation or a local manual (unassisted) installation.


Note - For a local OS installation, additional hardware is required and server web access is recommended.


Before You Begin

  1. Ensure the server is in standby power mode.
  2. Attach the 3-cable dongle to the universal connector port (UCP) on the front of the server module.
  3. Connect the video monitor to the video connector on the 3-cable dongle.
  4. Connect the keyboard and mouse to one of the USB connectors on the front of the server (or to one of the USB connectors on the 3-cable dongle).
  5. Connect the CD/DVD drive to the other USB connector on the front of the server (or to one of the USB connectors on the 3-cable dongle).
