Step 4: Review
The Review screen displays your hardware and OS settings. Continuing past this screen installs
the OS and configures the server.
CAUTION:
Continuing past this screen resets the drives to a newly installed state and installs the
selected OS. Any existing information on the server is erased. This does not affect a first-time setup,
because there is no data present on the server.
1.
Review the information on the screen and confirm its accuracy.
2.
If you want to use these same settings at a later time to install and configure a different server,
select Create a deployment setting from the assisted install. (Because Deployment Settings
profiles support only the settings provided in the Recommended installation methods, if this is
a Customized installation, settings that are unique to the Customized installation method are
not captured.)

Click the Continue right arrow to begin the automated installation and configuration process.
Depending on the Deployment Settings, a variety of screens are displayed, providing progress
information about the installation. For more information, see
