<DIV>Many thanks to Bob Richards for your previous advice.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Here is the spec (as shown on the sales page) of the server, which should
arrive early next week.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I've also ordered this CD-ROM Drive with Tray & Cable UD458
0UD458<BR>Brand - Dell <> MPN - UD458 <> SKU - cd0190</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>SPECIFICATION:<BR>License: None<BR>CPU: 2 X Intel Xeon @ 3.2GHZ <BR>RAM: 6
x DDR2 Slots - 2 X 1GB = 2GB installed<BR>Hard Drives: 36GB + 146GB
SCSI<BR>Optical Drives: None<BR>Other Drives: Floppy<BR>USB: 3<BR>LAN:
2<BR>Expansion Cards: None<BR>Graphics: on-board<BR>Motherboard:
Manufacturer<BR>Chassis: Manufacturer<BR>Power Supply: Manufacturer X
2</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Q: Is the CD drive easy to install ?<BR>Q: Will it need drivers installing,
if so, where can I get them from, and how do I install them
?<BR> (or will the BlueOnyx install disk take care
of it ?)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>And as this has 64bit dual (or perhaps duel) processors ;>) <BR>Q: I'm
assuming I should use the 64-bit install: BlueOnyx-5108R-CentOS-6.3</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Q: So to install should I just insert the CD & boot the server ?<BR>Q:
And what set-up should I choose from its install menu ?<BR>Q: Will it
automatically find the LAN Address, etc ?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Also: It's dawned on me that this is much heavier and cumbersome than a PC
Tower (39 lb) !<BR>I don't have any kind of server-rack, so to save
space...<BR>Q: Can I mount this vertically on a wall, or must it be flat
?<BR> (I guess the only items that may care are
the HDD & CD drives)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Anything else that I may need or be prepared for ?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Many thanks Mac</DIV>
