<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>
