Set Up for Local Installation

Use this procedure to set up for a local Oracle System Assistant assisted installation or a local manual (unassisted) 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.

• Get the following items:

  • Video monitor with 15-pin (DB-15) connector capabilities

  • USB keyboard and mouse

  • OS media on CD/DVD drive or USB OSA device

• To ensure that the server has the latest updates, server web access is recommended.

1. Ensure the server is in standby power state.
2. Connect the video monitor to the video connector on the front of the server.
3. Connect the keyboard and mouse to one of the USB connectors on the front of the server.
4. Connect the CD/DVD drive to the other USB connector on the front of the server (only if your server did not come with a DVD drive built-in).
