Lenovo ThinkServer TD200 - Manual (Page 23)

Chapter 2. Server setup roadmap
The installation process varies depending on the configuration of the server when it
was delivered. In some cases, the server is fully configured and just needs to be
installed in the rack, connected to power and the network, and started. In other
cases, the server needs to have hardware features installed, requires hardware and
firmware configuration, and required the operating system to be installed.
