Sun Microsystems SUN FIRE X4640 - Manual (Page 31)

After setting up the pre-installation environment, the SIA Installing Additional Software dialog
appears.
In the Installing Additional Software dialog, SIA installs additional platform-specific drivers, as
needed. Review the information presented.
Remove the SIA media and click the Reboot button.
The server reboots and continues with the installation of the operating system. If remote update
was selected, SIA retrieves the latest files from the web. Otherwise it uses the files on the OS
distribution media. Follow the on-screen instructions and perform reboot(s) as prompted.
After completing the OS installation, do the following:
■ Install and configure additional drivers and utilities for your server not installed by SIA. This
provides you the supported feature set for installed server components (for example,
additional drivers may include ACPI, video, network and mass storage).
■ Install Sun-specific optional software available on your server’s Tools and Drivers (also
known as Resource) CD/DVD as described in your server OS installation and Product Notes
documentation.
■ Download and install the latest Linux operating system updates and fixes from the Linux
operating system vendor’s web site.
