Installation and Configuration
WA R N IN G : Before performing the following procedure, review the safety
instructions that came with the system.
Unpacking the System
Unpack your system and identify each item.
Installing the Rails and System in a Rack
CAUTION: If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating
ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient.
Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an
environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified
by the manufacturer. For more information, see "Technical Specifications"
on page 11.
Assemble the rails and install the system in the rack following the safety
instructions and the rack installation instructions provided with your system.

Operating System Installation
The NovaScale R410B F2 offers an embedded Configuration utility: the Unified
Server Configurator - Lifecycle Controller Enabled (USC-LCE), which includes
an OS Deployment Wizard that assists you with the installation of the Operating
System.
Refer to the technical characteristics of the server on
http://www.bull.com/novascale to get the list of supported operating systems.
NOTE: The list of operating systems offered by the USC may be larger than the
list of the supported Operating Systems.
NOTE: for the installation of a supported Operating System not listed in the USC,
see
http://support.bull.com .
Residing on an embedded flash memory card, USC-LCE is similar to a BIOS
utility in that it can be started during the boot sequence and can function
independently of an installed operating system.
USC-LCE provides drivers that may be required for operating system
installation, depending on which operating system you are installing. The OS
Deployment wizard extracts these drivers and copies them to a staging directory.
These files are deleted after an 18-hour period or when you press the <F10> key
to either cancel operating system installation or re-enter USC after rebooting.
