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></font></div></div></blockquote></div></blockquote><div>No, blueonyx has booted right up on every dell server I've had. The only issue I've ever encountered was getting drives raided up correctly before getting into blue onyx</div>

<div>And as this has 64bit dual (or perhaps duel) processors

Q: I'm assuming I should use the 64-bit install:
BlueOnyx-5108R-CentOS-6.3</div>
<div> </div></font></div></div></blockquote></div></blockquote><div>Yes, try the 64bit, if it doesn't work then use the 32bit. I can't remember if the 1850's are 32 or 64.</div><div><br></div><div><br>

Q: Will it automatically find the LAN Address, etc ?</div></font></div></div></blockquote></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>when setting up the network you can do dhcp, but I would assign it an address so it doesn't change when you reboot.</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></div></font></div></div></blockquote></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>it would be better if flat, or on it's side. don't block the air flow in the front or back of the machine</div>

CD drives)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Anything else that I may need or be prepared for ?</div></font></div></div></blockquote></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I'd figure out what all of your network settings should be now.</div><div> </div>
